Let’s imagine that admissions allowed you to pick a Disney character to be your roommate. The following comments are from people whose roommates were Disney characters – can you guess the famous character based on the reported incidents?

-“My roommate gave me an apple which was supposedly meant to grant my wish. However, my wish to be with the prince wasn’t granted, and I’m starting to feel a little sleepy.”

-“This guy I’m a roommate with is very different. In fact, I can’t even tell if he’s human. I’d also like to note that his nose seems to have a growth problem. Man, I wish he were a real boy.”

-“I don’t want to come off as rude, but I think there is a definite mistake in my roommate pairing. I filled out on my application that I am severely allergic to dogs, but there are 101 of them in my room right now.”

-“I’m not saying this guy is a monster, and I don’t have anything against his strangely formed back, but what bothers me is that he repeatedly leaves the room to ring the bells on top of Rush Rhees.”

-“This one is more of a thank-you rather than a complaint. At first, when I came into my room during orientation, I was somewhat surprised to see that my roommate was a lion. However, when I heard his Broadway caliber voice, I just couldn’t wait for him to be king.”

– “My only complaint is actually one I thought my roommate should have submitted. Every day, we keep having guys knock on our door telling us there is a report of a rat problem. And every day I have to inform them that my roommate isn’t a rat, he’s a mouse.”

-“This thing keeps saying “Oh Bother,” and “Think, Think, Think.” And it won’t stop offering me honey. I don’t like honey and it’s starting to become more than I can bear.”
