the perfect roommate

Seventy-five percent of university students in the
US live away from home, and most of them live
off campus. Many share a house or apartment
with other students. But how do you know who
to share with? It can be a difficult decision. Are
you quiet, serious, shy, and hardworking? Or are
you outgoing, fun-loving, and noisy? It's an
important difference, and it can make sharing an
apartment either a great experience or a nightmare.

So next time you're trying to decide who to live with, a I leave my clothes on the floor,
take this questionnaire. And then ask your possible b I exercise a lot.

to four or more questions, then you'll be fine. If d i enjoy cooking big dinners for people,
more than three of your answers are different, then e I enjoy buying presents,
you need to find a new roommate! f I enjoy meeting new people.
