Avoiding weirdos is often easy, even though they crowd this world. But at Penn, you can get stuck with blossoming freaks as roommates every semester. School acts like a greenhouse for oddities, which thrive once removed from parental shadows. How can you deal with your roommates' peculiar ways and odd beliefs? For example, many weirdos believe that were they not to leave thickets of pubic hair in the shower, others would die from frustrated curiosity about its length, color and curliness.

"Orgasm is the body's natural call to feminist politics," wrote feminist author Naomi Wolf. Go out and sit on Locust Walk on a Sunday morning, though - are Penn's women just not getting any satisfaction? Why won't anyone make eye contact? We're all familiar with the walk of shame: The endless march across campus in f***-me pumps and clothes that are clearly not meant to be worn in daylight, paired with sex hair and morning breath.
