<p>I’m scared the little survey that is on the app isn’t enough and I’ll be stuck with a bad roommate. Can any current tell me about their experience? o you like your roommate or do you hate him/her?</p>
<p>I checked ‘absolutely no smokers’–during my freshman year, my dorm room smelled of cigarette smoke almost every day (but my roommate could have lied on the survey so who knows…) Anyway, from what I’ve been able to tell (from my friends at Pitt & in other schools) roommate situations are really hit or miss; some people befriend their roomies, others hate them, and still others just tolerate them. The survey you fill out is hardly exhaustive, so there’s plenty of room for you to get ‘stuck’ with someone you’ll either love or hate. My advice is that you should definitely make friends with other people on your floor/elsewhere–if you wind up hating your roommate, you can just stay in someone else’s room (or the lounge, I guess). Good luck!</p>
