Students who are going to live on campus are given paperwork before the semester, which asks things like sleeping habits, and how you like to study. One student, Rachel Clark, a freshman at  NESCom  is on her second roommate and is more happy with the results thus far. But she can’t say the same first first roommate. Clark, as a freshman has never been put with someone and had to try and live with them for a long period of time, this was new to her and her first roommate just wasn’t the right one to make it work. Clark says of her first roommate “My old roommate and I were just different people with different needs and personalities.”

I spoke with Matthew Teague and Liza Cote both Husson freshmen about their struggle with keeping a roommate. Cote says of her first “she didn’t respect my space and my things and roommate number two just up and left without giving a reason so I was just kind of left here without a roommate or knowledge as to why.” Cote is on her third roommate and feels like things are going pretty smoothly this time around. Teague says sleeping habits; noise and privacy are major issues with living with a roommate. “Everybody grows up with their own way to do things and when we get to college it’s hard for people to give and take”, Teague continued to say “it’s hard to transition from living your own life and having to share.” For Teague, the major issues he has had with previous roommates were that they slept all the time, and poor hygiene. Teague is also on his third roommate and feels like things are going all right this time. I guess third time really is the charm.
