33 Food-Related Questions All IU Students Have Asked Their Roommate

No matter what your relationship is like with your roommate, it’s undeniable that they know your food habits unlike anyone else. They’re going to know all about your late-night cravings for Baked after going out on Thursdays, they’ve memorized when in the morning you’ll start hungering for a Scholars Inn bagel, and they’ll probably share your love for FARM and Malibu Grill on a spiritual level.

Here in Bloomington, we’re pretty spoiled with endless options for food. Often, you’re going to need a second opinion while contemplating all the mouthwatering restaurants, cafés, and coffeehouses B-Town has to offer—and like I said before, no one knows your food preferences quite like the person who lives with you.
