Roommates
In order to get the desired
results for this research essay, I elaborated a survey in which I asked college
students, from the University of Texas Pan-American, to respond some questions
related to the experiences that they have lived before with a roommate, no
matter how good or bad the experience was.
One of the conclusions, made by Hall and
Willerman in their article, is that, roommates were more likely to attend
organizations or events in which their roommates were involved. And finally, the major hypothesis founded in their results was that, "students living with high academic [roommates] would study more and obtain better grades, than matched students living with low academic [roommates] ".
The most
popular idea that people claims about the college experience and its benefits
is the maturity. Of course is a benefit that students get from college
experience, but let say that part of that maturity comes from the experience of
share a room in a dormitory with someone else. People mature because it is in
the human nature, but it is common to see that students who are more mature are
those who live away from home and have roommates. That is because students
learn to live with other persons, and they also learn to be more independent. The
idea of mature in students became the investigation topic that T. Dary Erwin,
from Texas A&M University, did in his work entitled “The Influence of
Roommate Assignments upon Student’s Maturity”.
Now, the
video that I’m going to present you below is an example of how students tend to
influence others about their personality. Of course, there are lots of examples
to explain how a roommate can influence other in their study habits, in the way
that they eat, their hobbits, others. This is just a funny example that I
decided to choose to explain in an exaggerated way how the personality of a
student can change depending on the student who is his/her roommate.
