I put up a few posters while you were in class, hope you don't mind...

All right, you guys know the routine by now. Post any additional answers you’d like to see in the comments or feel free to share some stories. Send some tips in for new questions because I’m running out of ideas/am too lazy to think of one on a daily basis.

Part X:

Even though this applies to all colleges rather than strictly Michigan, I thought we’d talk about roommates, particularly for freshmen. Everyone hears the two stories. One is about the blind roommate who leaves their socks all over the room, won’t talk to you, studies all day and showers once a week. And then there is the story about the best friends (forever?) who room together and grow to hate each other beyond repair. Sounds like a lose-lose situation. However, you also have the stories about the blind roommates who grow to be best friends or the best friends who connect with each other passed what was thought possible. The answer probably lies within you. If you’re an anal jackass or prissy b*tch then odds are you’re not going to enjoy your roommate. A few other options include rooming by yourself, rooming with an acquaintance, rooming with a friend of a friend, etc. Given all these options, the tenth question of Michigan’s Best Bets is: What option makes for the best living experience in the dorms?

Room Blind

Room with Best/Close Friend

Room with other Friend (second/third circle)

Room with Acquaintance

Room with Friend of Friend

Room Alone (if you can)
