[listquiz]
- How many beds are in your room?
- Three, but they’re bunk beds and a loft.
- Two. Doubles rule!
- Three and a couch.
- Just one! My roommate swears that sleeping on the floor helps their back.
- Where is your dorm?
- Foothill.
- Clark Kerr Campus.
- Unit 1.
- Unit 3.
- Can you find another place to stay?
- Yeah, I was planning on staying with my significant other this weekend anyway.
- It’s midterm season. I wouldn’t be sleeping even if I was at home.
- I was hoping to stay in the room with my guests.
- Isn’t that what the co-ops are for?
- Are you going to tell your roommate(s)?
- Absolutely … not! They tend to be a little bit uptight.
- They came up with the idea.
- Yes. Honesty is the key to a good roommate relationship.
- Not until after it happens. I’ll split the profits with them, though.
- How chill is your RA?
- My RA has no chill, unfortunately. I’d be caught immediately.
- I have no idea if my RA is chill, because I never see them on my floor.
- I actually hang out with my RA all the time! They’re super chill.
- Normally, my RA is pretty strict, but I know they’ll be out of town this weekend.
-
- Absolutely! If you’re down for a little bit of illegal subletting, go right ahead and post your room on Airbnb. With such capitalistic instincts, you should apply to Haas School of Business.
- No way! Are you kidding yourself? Why would you put your dorm on Airbnb? You’d never get away with it anyway.
