I beat ALL of you. My roommate smells like ass. He hardly showers and it is the worst thing to deal with. I tried everything to be suddle and nice about it. But he didn't catch on... Dormmates would spray airfreshener while he slept or accidently spill dirt or something else. We got very creative. But nothing worked I had to be direct and just tell him. I recommend starting out with a compliment, it softens the blow. This is what I would say "Your a really nice guy and a hard worker, but some of the workers have been compliaining of a smell. I don't know what it is, but you need to be professional and make sure you take care of your hygiene. You may not be able to smell it, but just make sure you are showering everyday and using deoderant. I'm not doing this to be mean, but I have to think of everyone." I changed it a little for you, but that is about how I did it. I feel for you all I know how bad it is to deal with. And just so everyone knows that still did little good for me, I'm moving in with some buddies next semester.... Some people were just never raised properly.
