<p>You know, I’ve had girl and boy roommates and I can definitely say that the guy was a lot neater and easier to be with. But maybe that’s just because I’m a guy myself?? It is less of a hassle to be with someone with the same gender, but I think it totally depends on who you get - someone can be a good roommate or a horrible roommate, it doesn’t really matter what gender they are…</p>
