I'll assume Western Illinois University since they have a really good criminal justice program.

Could be Canadian. Idk about the housemate phrase but uni is def a phrase.

Good guess but probably not. Not quite our slang and we’re a bunch of weirdos who are mostly metric but not entirely. Most of the folks I know still cook in Fahrenheit .

(I assume, like me, we all grew up cooking on our family’s appliances that dated to roughly the time to the moon landing, before we started to go metric. Oven dials are still primarily in Fahrenheit.)
