And you thought YOUR roommate was bad ... .

Sure, your roommate may have stiffed you on the phone bill last month, and maybe he or she mooches your food, but a 19-year-old freshman at the University of Akron has a roommate story that might beat out all other bad-roommate stories.

The University assigned him to a dorm room with a 45-year-old ex-con who served prison time in the 1990s for robbing an elderly woman with a pellet gun.

As reported in central Pennsylvania's Beacon Journal, the University is now reviewing its don't-ask, don't-tell policy regarding admission of felons to the school and its residence halls.
