As someone with a lung condition, lying about smoking is dumb to me.

And to the people who are actually honest on their profiles, thank you, thank you so much because I always end up getting people who lie like I love the cold, but always get the people who lie and say they love the cold when they really don’t, and then when I end up freezing us to death, they complain. Oh, it’s too cold. You shouldn’t have lied.

i was very honest on mine, but in a way, some of those questions can be a little vague, and everyone has different perceptions on what exactly is being asked whether or not they gave the same answer. For example, I said I go to bed late. My late is 11pm. Her late was 3am, and she would have her light on distupting my sleep and making a lot of noises.

Told my roommate I stay up really late and she said oh that’s okay me too. The earliest I’ve seen her shut off all our lights and go to bed was 8pm. The latest was 11pm

One thing I’ll forever like about my roommate questionnaire is that. On top of having a section to write about ourselves. We also had to answer questions about preferences and it made you select specific times for when you go to bed. How many all nighters do you normally have if any. And what I really liked. It asked us specifics about room temperature, so we wouldn’t have issues with people saying “I like it cold” and it’s like 10+ degrees colder than someone else’s preference of “cold”.

Ppl don’t realize we can see your profile when we get roommate assignments. When we try to get different roommates, it’s hard because they have to find someone either in that dorm or willing to switch.

OP 1w

i had this problem with my freshman year roommate where we both said we liked cold, didn’t mind a mess and didn’t mind visitors. the problem was we both had very different ideas of cold, mess, and visitors. i meant 68 she meant 30s. I meant some clutter and clothes that i would take a few days to get to, she meant laundry and food trash piling until the room smelled awful. i meant i love ppl around, she meant ppl can come over whenever no warning even if i was sleeping or studying.

It got super detailed tbh. And then had a way to view roommates by matching preferences. Or matching paragraphs. So I think it’s pretty nice. Only issues I’ve had is trash and people’s version of clean etc.

see, mine only asks questions about keeping the room generally clean, having visitors, studying late vs early, etc. but you can only select options like “strongly agree vs strongly disagree”, and its not specific. so me clicking study/go to bed late, i was thinking 11pm. my roomate on the other hand, took studying late as 3am

If your school doesn’t have questions to specify then I’d recommend writing in specifics or checking beforehand maybe. So you know in advance. And then if they like a later bed time but everything else is good to you, maybe you can discuss an agreement of sorts. Because im also a huge night owl but my roommate will go to bed at midnight normally. So I’ll go out to the main living area when she goes to bed and I’ll work out there so I don’t bother her.
