[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a terrible roommate who would come home at 11 pm and do homework until 5 am. I was (still am) a light sleeper and probably got an average of 3 hours a sleep a night that first year. It exacerbated a latent mental illness and I flunked out.

When I returned, I lived solo in an apartment. Did fantastic. Someone roommates just suck, but some people do better living alone.[/quote]

Did none of these kids fill out a roommate questionnaire?[/b] This is what happens when you pick someone based upon a Facebook or Instagram profile.

My kid's school encouraged the survey AND signing a roommate agreement early on, to settle issues like sleeping/quiet times, having overnight guests, etc.

Is that so rare? [/quote]

That's not a thing anymore.  Colleges don't care.  They just assign people at random.  HeIl, I went to school in the 90s and never filled out a roommate questionnaire.  [/quote]

My kids did it twice (different schools) in the last three years. [/quote]

And mine didn't (two different schools).  Anecdotes mean nothing.  [/quote]
