Many students choose to share accommodation with other students when they are in school because there are many advantages for living together with roommates. However, if you choose your roommates inappropriately, you may get yourselves into a trouble and jeopardize your life and study. So what are some of the important qualities of a good roommate? Given different personalities and preferences, many people have different opinions. I will choose a good roommate based on several qualities.  

First, a good roommate is a person does not have bad habit or addiction such as smoking or drinking. Take the example of smoking. Smoking will pollute the indoor air and contaminate clothes and bedding. With a smoker in the same apartment, I cannot breathe health air and have a good rest, let alone concentrating on studying. Even worse, I may become a victim of passive smoking. In a word, a roommate`s bad habit can seriously impact my life and studying.  

A good personality is the next quality that I would use to measure if he/she is a good roommate. It is my preference that my roommate is an outgoing person. He/She likes to make friends and respect other people, and in the mean time has a sense of humor. With a roommate who has a good personality, for sure my student life will become more enjoyable.  

Finally, a good roommate should be a person who puts cleaning room as part of his/her routine schedule. I am a person who like put everything in other. With a clean room, I will find myself easier to concentrate on reading and writing. I believe many of other students share the same view.  

All in all, having a good personality but no bad habit and cleaning room regularly are the most important qualities for a roommate and I would choose my roommate based on those qualities. I am certain that I will enjoy my school life with such a roommate.
