The Lesser of 10 Evils: Who could YOU live with?!

Searching for you first set (or brand new set!) of housemates to live with at university is very exciting! You want to live with everyone because everyone is your friend! But this is a very important decision you will have to live with, LITERALLY, for a whole year! Which of the following could you handle?!

The Clean One

The "clean-as-yougo-along please!" housemate! Cups and plates must be washed IMMEDIATELY.... and don't you DARE think about "leaving it to soak overnight"... the clean housemate can ready your messy thoughts!

The Messy One

The exact opposite of the clean one. They embrace mess, and almost thrive in it. Plates will often sit for days on end until it starts growing fluff.


The One Who Likes to "Borrow"

"Can I borrow some milk?" "Can I borrow your jumper?" "Can I borrow the notes you took?" These guys inevitable forget to return or repay you back, and if uncontrolled often forget to even ask. Sharing is caring though, right?

The Grumpy One

Never happy. Never satisfied. Never enjoying themselves. Nothing is ever good enough. If you see this person smiling they've either had a mental breakdown or they've got some ;)

The Recluse

 Always at home, but never at "home". The recluse spends most of their shut away in their room. They reject social interaction like the plague. You may mistake the recluse for a ghost - always heard, but never seen.

The one who is never there

Not to be mistaken for the recluse - the "never-there" is not actually in the house. They spend their time at home, out with other friends, at lectures, or who knows where! But definitely not in the house,


The Substance Abuser

 Whether it be alcohol, drugs, or something a little weirder, the substance abuser will not only practice their hobby, but may try and recruit you too. Also be prepared to hear some questionable music choices and the occasional midnight forage.

The Gym Nut

 Always in the gym, or working out at home. Dinner is a protein shake and the day is filled with comments such as "I need to bulk up"... whatever that means! Everything becomes a competition on who can bench press the most.


The Lovebirds

Showing off in front of all singletons with their PDA, The Lovebirds love spending every waking second together. Prepare yourself for the noises of the "conjugal visit"

The Stud / Studette

Very similar to lovebirds, but without the PDA. Regular noises from various visitors, almost guranteed when this person goes on a night out. Prepare yourself to be making cups of tea for strangers for their long walk of shame, or stride of pride depending on their outlook :)
