Any good roommate questions other than what you can find from a quick search on the web? I have quite a few compiled but if you have any good or quirky questions, please share! Thanks!
I did the same thing with my roommate last year (and we ended up being great friends!) so here’s a few I used:
What’s your major and what do you do in your free time?
What made you apply to (insert name of university)?
Do you have any friends going to (insert name of university)?
Are you a night owl or a morning person?
Do you smoke?
Do you snore? (Funny, I know, but at least you won’t be surprised if your roommate starts making bear-like sounds when you’re trying to sleep.)
Rather than just asking if a person is a night owl, ask what time they go to sleep. S14 would stay up to 5 am if you let him.
Other questions:
Do you talk in your sleep?
Do you consider yourself a neat person? (Incompatibility in this realm is the #1 complaint I see on CC)
Are you an introvert or an extrovert? (I’m an introvert, but I like hanging around extroverts because they talk, which means I don’t have to)
Also make sure you are on the same page regarding guests in the room, including romantic partners.
Do you have a current SO?
Is this person attending the same school/close by?
You can then dovetail into the discussion about guests.
