When you finally decide to move into off-campus housing, it seems like such a liberating day has arrived. But you’ll quickly find it’s not all that different from dorm life, especially when it comes to the types of roommates you’ll have. Below are the seven kinds of roommates you will definitely encounter off-campus.
1. The roommate who won’t agree with anything or anyone
Can’t we just compromise?
2. The roommate who is always trying to rearrange furniture
Please just leave things where you found them.
3. The roommate who hates when guests are over
“This is MY apartment.”
4. The roommate who never cleans
I’m not your mother. Clean up after yourself, okay?
5. The roommate who cooks disastrously
Let’s get take-out.
6. The roommate who always wants to throw a party
NOT. EVERY. WEEKEND.
7. The roommate who’s stressed out about everything
Whether it’s academic or social, it’s a problem.
But in the end, you couldn’t live without them.
