3. What's your schedule like?

Even if you don't plan on being friends with your roommate, it's good to know each other's schedule. You'll have a rough idea of where they're at throughout the day, know when you can get some private time, and call the cops if they've been missing for days.

4. How do you feel about guests?

Every group of friends needs a dorm room to call home. Will it be yours or will you need to head down the hall? Make sure you check with your roommate.

10. Do you shower in the morning or at night?

This is more for those in a suite-style bathroom situation but nothing is worse than being a morning shower kind of person only to find out your roommate is too. Everything is fine and dandy until one of you is running late.
