by himself, he said.
For those unable to live alone, the next best
alternative is to live with more than one other
person, Malle advised. He cited statistics that
show people who live with three or four
roommates have better results.
“It helps to live with more than one other
person because it provides more perspec
tives, which can be helpful with conflict reso
lution,” he said.
Senior Jon Moch has lived with groups of
friends, both men and women, and has found
the mix of genders works well.
“It’s good to have a nice balance of testos
terone and estrogen. Otherwise, too much
of one or the other can be overwhelming,”
he said.
While living with friends has generally
worked well for Moch, he has experienced in
stances in which lifestyle differences have
caused problems, particularly where drug use
and pets were concerned.
One roommate had a bunny who became a
problem once it hit puberty, Moch said. The
bunny, Buster, became territorial, hissed and
bit Moch, and defecated all over his room
whenever he left his door open.
Moch said he is the kind of person who lets
his problems fester, and his roommates tend
to be the same way. According to Malle, the
psychologist, that is exactly the way most bad
roommate situations arise.
The major mistake people make in regards
to roommate situations is that they think
roommate success depends on matching per
sonalities, Malle said.
“What causes the bad situations are esca
lations of lots of small things that haven’t
been talked about,” Malle said. “People are
fairly quick about making assumptions but
often are surprised by how easily people
can change.”
According to Moch, the best advice when
it comes to choosing roommates is to consider
TV preferences.
“Don’t get stuck with someone who wants
to watch sports when you want to watch ‘Sab
rina (the Teenage Witch),”’ he said.
