Roommate horror stories are another reliable feature of college life, but there's evidence that Clementi himself did not think Ravi was all that bad. When he found out about his roommate's first webcam intrusion, Clementi hesitated to change rooms, writing of Ravi in a forum that "aside from being an a—hole from time to time, he's a pretty decent roommate." Clementi worried that he could end up with "somebody worse" if he complained and was assigned a new roommate — hardly the language of someone who felt intimidated or persecuted.
