McCribs: The best and worst of dorm life

If you were to walk into room 309 on the 3rd floor of Rouzer, the first thing that would probably come to your mind is, “Wow, those roommate surveys are a joke,” and with good reason. While one side of the room is covered with wrestling awards, hunting equipment and a RAGE energy drink poster, the other sports some origami cranes hovering above a computer desk and a set of bunny ears to complement a lamp. There seems to be such a clash of personalities here, it’s a wonder they haven’t killed each other.This, however, is not the case. “Yea we get along alright,” Skylar Snead, owner of the RAGE side, observes “how we set up our room isn’t really a big issue.”

“It’s okay I guess,” says Nick Turissi, owner of the crane side of the room, when asked how he felt about the difference in persona “it’d be nice to have someone who decorated like me but this is fine too.”
When asked if they would room together next year given the chance they both said would probably ask for someone more like themselves, but for now they were okay.
