Penn State University already holds the title of “#1 Party School”, but a couple of students are making the university famous for the epic online battle raging between them about their living arrangements.
Student Jessica Taylor began the spat after finding her roommate, Nikki’s, Twitter profile, where many of her tweets were about having to cohabitate with Taylor.
“Two weeks down and I already hate my roommate,” one of the Tweets from Nikki’s deleted account read.
In an act of pettiness, and probably due to hurt feelings, Taylor decided to print the mean tweets and display them in the room she shares with Nikki.

Nikki’s reaction was not a good one, as can be expected.

Taylor also posted screenshots of a text message conversation between the two, in which they argue about Taylor having marijuana in the room and Nikki’s dislike of her general living habits. Taylor also alleges that Nikki called campus police on her, which Nikki has denied.

Taylor then re-tweeted photos of her roommate drinking, alleging that there is illegal activity happening on both sides.
A university resident advisor stepped in trying to diffuse the situation.

But it was too late. The feud had already gone viral online and on campus, where Taylor had become a mini celebrity.

The living situation has not yet been resolved, although Taylor doesn’t seem to mind living in the middle of an online feud, declaring herself “internet famous” today.

Nikki however, has deleted her twitter profile and seems to be laying low until the issue is settled.
