Matching Freshman Roomates

<p>what is important to you in a roomate?</p>

<p>what is important to you in life? Trustworthiness, kindness
what is your favorite activity? Chatting, traveling, writing, hanging out
how would you describe yourself? Cheery
what is the most important characteristic in a friend? Empathy
what is the one thing that bothers you most about people? Rudeness, with ignorance a close second.
why did you choose Penn State? It felt like home.
are you from PA or out of state? I’m from the greater NYC metro area.
are you passionate about talking politics/not so interested? I’m going into international politics with a concentration in national security. You don’t get much more politically involved.
are you an average student/above average? I’m an A average student in all APs. Whether that means I’m above average or just good at school is the question.
do you know your major? Yep.
do you prefer being with someone of same religion/if so what religion? I really don’t care; I myself am an atheist, but that’s by no means a requirement for a roommate. I don’t shove my belief (or lack thereof) down anyone’s throat, and would only ask the same of a roommate.
are you outgoing/shy? Outgoing.
are you very talkative/more quiet? Chatterbox.
are you happy-go-lucky/serious-minded? Somewhere down the middle.
are you tough-skinned or sensitive? Fairly thick-skinned.
do you like a large group of friends/prefer small group? A large group!
like to be with people most of time/like to be by self? People, please.
very serious about studies/not so serious? Again, it’s a medium.
can study with tv on or need quiet? Can work with TV.
up late at night? Oh god, yes.
like to drink/drugs - sensibly, get wasted? No drugs. Drink occasionally.
neat/messy? Disorganized.
what are your worries/concerns about starting college? Homesickness. I also have CRPS, which can (and has) affected my mobility. I’m self-reliant, but when your legs give out on you, it’s still pretty scary. I’m worried about that flaring, but that wouldn’t affect a roommate.
any habits that you want to share? I’m barefoot all the time, if that squicks you.
anything else that is important to you? I’d prefer a roommate who’s got a good sense of humor and likes to chat. Also! I’m an SHC kid, talking advantage of that living option.</p>
