The process of leaving the safety of your parents' home can be quite stressful; and having to live with, which can often be, a complete stranger doesn't always put your mind at ease. Roommates come in as many different shapes, sizes, attitudes, musical tastes, and quirks as there are people on earth. Some roommates won't match your level of cleanliness, causing you to feel hungry every time the sink is full of dishes or the trash needs to be taken out. Some you will never see and others will never leave the dorm or apartment.
