Roommate Questions

<p>Does anyone remember what questions are asked in selecting roommates?</p>

<p>stuff like sleeping habits (early to rise/sleep), do you smoke, are you willing to live with a smoker</p>

<p>hmm that’s all i remember right now</p>

<p>We choose our roommates and residence hall later, right?</p>

<p>the application comes out in like the first two weeks of may</p>

<p>if i remember correctly you don’t get to choose the actual hall, you go by themes unless it’s a hall that requires an application because it’s a special hall</p>

<p>I was just wondering regarding the Dormmate match questions(sleeping habit/smoker/etc), if, hypothetically, one person doesn’t smoke cigarrete but smokes weed… would he/she check “smoker” or “non-smoker”?</p>

<p>well the question asks if your a smoker, and if someone SMOKES weed, then he/she is indeed a smoker.</p>

<p>haha, i love this comment. it would probably go under smoker. it smells too, doesn’t it? my reasoning (besides it being smoked) is that the other roommate wouldn’t want to be around smells (ex: you can’t smoke inside the buildings but someone who has just smoked will probably have the smell, and the other roommate might be bothered by it) so i would assume the situation is similar.</p>

<p>So do they not ask about interests/personality and whatnot? And do they room you with someone of the same major or is it all based on the smoking/non-smoking + sleeping habits?</p>

<p>Hey thanks for the replies, but I’m not sure if weed smoking is same as cigarrete smoking… B/C cigarette smoking is habit(You can’t help it cuz it’s addictive), also frequency of weed smoking doesn’t compare to cigarette smoking in general, like 1,2 times a week? You can tell a smoker even if he hadn’t just had it cuz of the nicotine build-ups on his nails, teeth, blackened lips n stuff. Weed is just for fun kinda thing you know?</p>

<p>Well in that case, I’d be safe and check off the box that says smoker. Why? Firstly, it’s illegal and if you get a roommate that is against smoking weed, he will and can report you.</p>

<p>@akclements: most of the questions were things you rank… like on a scale of 1-9, how early -> late do you sleep? there might have been questions about personality in that format but i’m not entirely sure. i wanted to see if i could access my old housing form but i don’t have my information here… i might be mixing this up with my new housing form for next year lol</p>

<p>your major might play a role… my random roommate is a flute major (i’m studio art) but i don’t know if that was just a coincidence that we were put together.</p>

<p>my roommate is a social ecology major and I am public health(same school), I don’t think that could have been random considering how few of us there are. But other people in my suite don’t really match by major so I don’t know.</p>

<p>I put I wake up early and go to sleep early so I would get someone who doesn’t party all the time and it worked</p>

<p>i definitely put late to sleep and that did nothing in my case. my roommate sleeps really early most of the time (except this quarter) and it was a hassle to sometimes have to leave my room just to be considerate because she was sleeping at 11 30</p>

<p>What’s wrong with sleeping at 1130? =P</p>

<p>haha. nothing, and i would love if i could sleep at 11 30 but i tend to sleep at 1 at the earliest, 3 at the latest if it’s not midterms/finals week. one time i came back during on a sunday at 9:30 and she was already in bed.</p>
