Should You Have a Roommate in College?

Are you unsure whether you should have a roommate when you head off to college? If so, you are exactly who I designed this quiz for. Having a roommate has many pros and cons, and it can be hard to decide what to do, but that’s exactly why this quiz exists. Remember, you are the only one who truly knows your preferences, but this will help you with your decision.

This quiz is made to help you, but of course there are many factors that contribute to any decision. Still, enjoy the quiz and use the feedback. Remember to be honest and open minded- no one will judge you. I hope that this will help you learn a lot and are better prepared for your future!

- Kind of messy, but I could make more of an effort if somebody is going to visit.

- None! Let’s party! C’mon guys it’s not even 3am yet!

How well do you sleep?
- I’m a restless sleeper and every tiny noise wakes me up.

- A little. I’ll do more research closer to college.
- Not at all.
- It’s on the calendar!
- No, wasn’t planning on it,
Do you WANT to have a roommate?

- Don’t think so.
- No.

This question may be short and to the point but it is very important. Are you willing to spend several months of your life living with a stranger who could become your closest friend- or drive insane?
- No.
- Yes.
- Maybe.
- I don’t know.
