Dorm Room Study My investigation was and observation of two college roommates who started out as best friends, but ended as bitter acquaintances. They soon found out how over time, two good friends find living together a bigger task than they had ever imagined. I was informed of their quarrels from both parties since I was a mutual friend, and I was a witness to what they had said since I was a frequent visitor. In the end, they were not enemies, but unfriendly, bitter, acquaintances. The two subjects of investigation in this case were Vanessa and Valerie, both friends of mine and both roommates here at UIC. From the beginning, there was an obvious difference…Vanessa was Hispanic and Valerie was African-American. Not that there race difference was a problem, but it was the root of their lifestyle and culture differences. Vanessa came from Hoffman Estates, a majority white, middle to upper class neighborhood and Valerie came from the Westside of Chicago, a predominantly black, lower class neighborhood. Valerie was from a single mother home, being the only child and Vanessa was from a home with both parents and two younger siblings.
