Do Stan and Kyle and Kenny live on your dorm room floor? Here's a guide to the South Park characters you might find in your dormitory.

On every dorm floor, you'll find the same people. The brainiac. The guy who blares his music. The party girl. And so forth. As a college life guide to the kinds of people you'll find on in every dormitory, here's a special South Park dormitory analysis.

  • The Eric Cartman guy. This is the guy who's amazingly self-centered and doesn't seem to notice that there's other people living on the floor. Clearly he had his mother wrapped around her finger at home. This guy blares his music and drives his roommate insane with his pigsty habits. He can be a lot of fun, but when he doesn't get his way, he says, "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
  • The Kenny McCormick guy. He's quiet and hard to understand because his head is always buried in a baseball cap. Don't let his quiet demeanor fool you, though, because this kid has the dirtiest mind in the dorm and has an endless supply of lewd comments about the girls on the floor and his female TAs. He's pretty harmless though, and terribly prone to accidents.
  • The Stan Marsh guy. He's a mostly well-balanced guy who's smart without being nerdy, and who is the voice of reason when people on the floor do stupid things, like the Eric Cartman guy. He hasn't quite figured out how to act around girls yet, and tends to fall for the brainy type, like the Wendy Testaburger girl.
  • The Kyle Broflovsky guy. Like the Stan Marsh guy, he's mostly intelligent and reasonable. He has a strong sense of what's right and wrong and can be kind of a drama queen. He'll probably wind up in student government.
  • The Butters guy. This is the floor nerd, needless to say. Others take advantage of his naïveté, especially the Eric Cartman guy, and he finds himself the victim of late night drunken pranks. This is one of the nicest guys in the dorm, however, and a very good confidant. His heart is easily broken by pretty girls, but eventually one of them is going to figure out what a catch he is.
  • The Wendy Testaburger girl. She's very serious about her studies and loathes the Eric Cartman guy because he blares his music. She has a sweet demeanor, but she's very competitive about her studies (and her men), so don't mess with her.
  • The Bebe Stevens girl. This girl goes to more than her shares of parties. She is well-liked by the girls because she's fun, and by the boys because of, well, other reasons. Don't let her sassy demeanor fool you though; this girl aspires to have a serious career and secretly has one of the highest GPAs on the floor.
  • The Tweek guy. This guy really needs to take a stress management class. Exam time is torture for him, causing him to run through the halls yelling, "Ack! Too much pressure!" People like him, though, and you can always count on the Tweek guy to have a fresh pot of coffee in his room.
  • The Token guy. This is the kid from the wealthy family who wears fashions from Armani Exchange and always has the latest cell phone and iPod. Spoiled as he is, he's a nice guy, and floormates gather in his room to play with his GameCube and watch DVDs on his plasma TV.
  • The Timmy guy. Learning disabled and lots of fun. Timmy!!!!
  • The Towelie guy. He's a good guy to have around the dorm. After all, everybody needs a towel. As for his little habit, well, that might get him into trouble.
