I’m surprised they stuck the two of them together. You’d think housing at the school would match according to such a huge trait like neat vs slob; similarly, smoking vs not, early bird vs night owl.

My then freshman son, a slob, was matched to another slob, so it was OK. I can’t even begin to go into details about moving out day in May. Suffice it to say a lot of stuff, including clothes, was thrown out. It was a nightmare.

S is 3 yrs out of college, lives with gf, and is still a slob. We don’t understand how she lives with him.
