Though students everywhere experience this Culture differently, there is one thing that makes College Culture in most places: Roommates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roommates can be great, and awful. Blind draws can find a student their best friend, and analytical choices can make a students\u2019 greatest enemy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roommates are the necessary evil of college.
