Great Roommate: A great roommate is considerate of your space, does not steal your stuff, pays their share of the bills, does not mooch all of your food and is not a total slob. A great roommate does not borrow your clothes at random or look better in them than you. And that goes for if your roommate is of the same sex or not. Finally, a great roommate does not have loud parties when you are wanting to study.

Nerd Roommate: A nerd roommate is kinda wierd dude or dudette. You may think they belong to some wierd roommate cult and are a little wacked. The nerd roommate does not ever seem to have any dates and is always heading out to study. You can learn from the nerd roommate especially if your gpa is below a 2.0. A nerd roommate can be a good roommate if you are one that likes your sleep.

Party Roommate: The party roommate can be a fun roommate, but lookout for this roommate; they are not there to go to school. This roommate just wants to party. Don't expect to get a lot of sleep except during the day with a party roommate, and we thought that daytime is when you are supposed to be in class. We think that its fun to know the party rooommate especially the cool party roommate who knows all the hot guys and girls, but we don't want the party roommate for our roommate.

Roommate from Hell: Food moochin, no-bill paying, beer cans everywhere, laundry everywhere, party all the time, ten friend sleep-overs that stay a month, he's wearing your best pumps, leaves you holding the bag roommate. That's the roommate from hell.
