He religiously checks each cover of a book even if it bears no library markings, or has a prominently displayed Coop price tag still attached. He removes the face from every calculator, just in case someone is trying to elope with a business card or slip of stolen printer paper. And he takes his time.

Decisions such as which posters to buy at the Coop, whether or not to get a TV, and whether bed risers are a delightful use of space (or just a drunken fort waiting to happen), are all serious questions that every undergrad has to grapple with at some point. Hitler posters and shrines to Barbra Streisand are usually good indicators of latent wacko tendencies (and bad b.o.), but extreme cases aside, how much does your room really say about you? In order to answer this question, FM grabbed two strangers and tested each...
