Regarding “whose parents clearly suggested that she fill out the questionnaire”, I met a fellow who said that when he filled out his questionnaire (back in the day) he asked that his roommate be a non-smoker. Within days of rooming together he determined that his roommate was really a chain smoker. When he confronted him about his smoking (he apparently knew that the roommate had said that he also was a non-smoker), the roommate explained that his mother was watching him fill out the questionnaire and he didn’t want her to know that he was a smoker. Perhaps the OP’s D’s roommate had the same problem and didn’t want parents to know that she was a “party animal”. That could be a fun subject for Parents’ Weekend!
