Some of the people who were recommended to me don’t seem like people I’d be friends with; why would I want to live with them?
Believe it or not, sometimes the differences can make all the difference, particularly in a roommate relationship. Compatible relationships are based upon unique areas of both similarities and differences. People who are exactly like you would likely not be an ideal roommate for you. When it’s a great fit, it just feels like you and your friend or roommate are exactly alike; the likelihood is that, in many ways, you are probably very different.
