Just what I needed
Always Gone Alonso - grad student, just needs to sleep — short-term transactional way station
Freshman Frannie — wants to meet people, socializing, RA events in the dorm (on-calls) — don’t have to go out; lots of proximity to other freshmen; shared dining experience; shared laundry
Athlete Alicia — accommodate off-hours schedules — similar schedules — closeness to teammates in shared space.
