. . , , , f .., MW' ff2,,i more Kelli Boyd. Unfortunately, roommate problems do occur. For those who do have difficul- ties, there are few options. lf one is fortunate enough to live in a suite, time can be passed in the suite area rather than closed up in a room. lf the situation is unbearable one can wait until the housing freeze is over and then move. Most, however, resign themselves to stick it out, Finding a compatible room- mate can sometimes cause a dilemma. Some choose to live with their best friend, while oth- ers say it would cause too many problems. CAS sophomore len Binkley stated, Last year lmy and lj both had bad best friend roommate experiences and we each other so often were with that it was almost as if we were living together anyway. Now that we live together, it's been a really good experience for me, but I can see how it could be bad for other people...l'm pretty sure we'll be roommates until we graduate. On the other hand, CAS junior lane Dwyer, who lived with her best friend explained, lt wasn't that we didn't get along, but when you're in a room with someone, you can't just say they, let's hang out.' lt was easy to take the other person for granted because they were always there so you didn't get excited to see them. Despite all of the problems that accompany the whole roommating experience, it can be worthwhile. Sometimes when you just need someone to talk to, a roommate is the only person you can count on. A roommate is a person who knows all about you and likes you just the same. -jessica Solomon

S The whole idea of having a roommate is such a simple one. Sfhe should simply be, as Webster defines it, a person who shares a room or apartment with another or others. But that isn't all a roommate is, not even quite... A roommate is like a second skin that is always up against you in those crowded and minis- cule dorm rooms, someone to point out our quirks and faults, someone to share that first big paper and that first all-nighter with, someone who may be your hest friend. Living with another person is a unique experience, especially for freshmen. There are so many things to get used to-different sleeping hahits, different tastes in music, and personality clashes. For some, that first roommate tlirIn'l quite cut it. As one lil ecorzd Speech sophomore said, My first roommate would choose to print her papers at 5:00 in the morning and I'd have to go sleep out in the suite. For others, however, their roommate was a perfect match. According to Speech freshman Tori Landau, Shes great! llvty roommatel and I are just perfect for each other...we're really in tune. I think it helps that I wrote to her over the summer...l3y the time we met, we already knew each other. The whole roommate experi- ence is quite different for return- ing students. Most choose their roommates, so there aren't many surprises, or at least there shouldn't be. You sort of know the person, hut that doesn't mean you have any less ofa chance of having an unfortunate experience, said Speech sopho- E
