My roommate was a total pig, and constantly trimmed her body hair and left it all over the tub and sink. Mac and cheese sat molding on our stove for weeks. She would bring friends home at 4am and start booming music and would get drunk and cry. (Yes, she was a drunk crier.) I run on the cross country team at my school, and I would leave on certain weekends to travel for trips. On these trips, I discovered she would go in my room and look through my things. Basically, it was a nightmare from hell! I don't think this is the typical experience everyone has, I think I just had some really really bad luck picking her at random. :P Just thought I would share my miseries! Now I live with my teammates and I am as happy as can be! :)

When you live with strangers, you know each other first and foremost as roommates and can make agreements on the 1000 different aspects of living together. When you live with friends, you might find out they're the complete opposite with sleep hours, cleanliness, personal habits and all of that.

I transferred universities after my first year (i'm in second now) and didn't want to do the res thing and didn't know anyone in the city i was moving to so scoped for random places to live. It ended up being the best thing i've ever done. I have a cheap, really nice place to live with roommates that are working and hold normal sleeping hours like me. As well even though my roommates are older they are a ton of fun, and I am really enjoying living with them. Plus its not their first time living alone so they are way more responsible.

I am rooming with a girl that I met through the theater and she has been my best roommate to date!
