Out of all the characters we have been introduced to this year, few seem like the type you would want to live with. If I were to choose from the bunch to find a roommate to live with in college, I would have to go with one man... Gatsby. The reasons for living with Gatsby in college are numerous, from his suave, to his overall connections. Gatsby embodies the college life in a pretty bad ass fashion by taking the party aspect and adding class. If we were roommates, he would always have a full bar and a dorm full of people partying, which already seems appealing. I know he would act like this, because throughout the book, he is constantly having parties with bootlegged alcohol and women by the hundreds. An example of this would be the party in which Nick Hornby first meets Gatsby, because upon entering, he is astonished to see the huge amounts of illegal alcohol and people gathered at the mansion. Also, Gatsby is quite the food connoisseur, so I think he would always keep the dorm stocked with good food. He displays this when he has hundreds of oranges shipped to him just for his juicer every day. Besides the food, drinks, and women, he seems like an overall interesting guy from his experiences, and also a mystery man which adds even more interest. Finally, if we were dorming together, I could help Gatsby in getting the hell over daisy and her indecisive self, because he seems hopeless, and I'm obnoxious enough that I could just tell her to have fun with Tom go away so that Gatsby could focus on the college hunnies.
