Roommates don’t deserve the bad rap

We’ve all heard the horror stories of the drug dealers, the womanizers, the slobs, the weird pet owners and the thieves. Roommates are like snowflakes; they come in all shapes and sizes.

They’re essential to the college experience, and everyone should have at least one roommate during their undergraduate years.
