The first roommate is a quiet, mature transportation engineer who is here only 4 days a week during the week, the rest of the time he goes home to his family in San Diego.

The second roommate is only here 4 days a week, then stays with family in Orange County for the weekends. He is a single, mid-‘20’s aerospace engineer working on a Master’s degree via online classes.
