You arc in danger of flunking out of college and the end of the FOLLOWS FUNCTION semester is coming. You partied too much and spent too many mornings in bed rather than class. What options do you have? Go talk to your professors and beg for passing grades? Study like you have never studied before and hope for the best during finals week? Pray to the grade gods? Kill your roommate and get a 4.0? The last option may be morbid, but believe it or not one of 'the most widely spread urban legends on college campuses today is the dead roommate legend. Students at present day colleges and almost any person who has ever attended college has heard : If your roommate ! - kills him/herself or dies then' you will get an automatic 4.0.

"Nobody gets an automatic 4.0 or anything like that, but we do work with the students affected," Carr said. Bowling Green State University tries as hard as possible to work with students that are faced with this situation. They work with faculty and counselors to accommodate any student or students faced to deal with the death of a roommate or friend. "We work with professors and counselors to help the student," Carr said. "We sometimes may move a student or help them with classes but nothing like what the legend states." Carr said that when the staff hears students comment on this legend they are quick to correct them.
