My anecdotal evidence shows that most students in Provo are sitting around their apartments all day and driving each other crazier than normal.
In talking to students and parents they have noticed the roommate drama has gone off the charts (especially with girls). They never get a break from each other as they are all home all day sitting at their computers. I don't care how likeable roommates are. When you are around each other 24/7 for months on end, you will turn on each other. It's inevitable.
