Student chatter around the 40 Acres
What is your best advice for finding a roommate? Robin Mannas
Ruben Espinoza Taylor Prewit journalism senior
journalism sophomore
“There are a lot of crazy people on craigslist, and you should screen them before letting them move into your home or apartment. I would take the first month’s rent before you let them move in to secure a little bit of ‘street cred’, and have a dayafter meeting before committing. The ones that are ready to go RIGHT NOW are usually not good to live with.”
“Whether you’re comfortable with random people, certain friends or fraternity brothers/ sorority sisters, you must be comfortable in order to ultimately be happy.”
“I think it is important to meet someone face to face to really get to know them. Everyone is always going to put their best face forward on Facebook, so don’t rely on social media to pick a roommate.”

Aditi Reddy, public health sophomore Aditi is prepared in the event of a random rainstorm on her way to class, just like we’ve all come to know as Texans. Perhaps she can somehow explain our funky weather with those biochemistry flashcards or use her calculator to determine how far away the storm is based on the sound of thunder.

You’ll never find Willie strolling around the Domain or Barton Square. He does all of his shopping online. From the looks of things, he’s been pretty successful. Wearing: Hooded shirt from jackthreads.com; burgundy “Members Only” jacket from PLNDR. com; Naked & Famous Raw Selvedge jeans from Barneys New York; Vans shoes; Chrome messenger bag from chromebagsstore. com Shops: primarily online for the better prices; Burnett says he hasn’t shopped at a physical retail store in a long time.
