Yes, the housing form…my son is a slob. I am not, but he is and his father is. I told him that he better be honest on his housing form…fortunately his freshman roommate was also honest and they lived happily ever after in their pigpen. The problem is the kids who are not honest on their housing forms. bbkitty therin lies the problem, one person’s messy is not quite another. In my opinion if you can’t get from the bedroom door to the bed when they live with you during their teens year they best put extremely messy on their housing forms. If they leave food wrappers and pop cans in their rooms and the clothes don’t quite get to the dresser and closets…yup they are just plain messy. If the clothes are generally put away, the floor generally clear of things and you can see some of the top of the surface of their desk - they put neat on the housing form. If they change their sheets weekly, hang up their clothes, stack their books neatly and sweep and vacuum their floors and dust regularly they put extremely neat on the housing form!
