College students: Next time you're thinking about cursing your roommate out for the bizarre sleeping schedule, the messy pile of clothes in your bathroom or the dirty dishes left unwashed in your kitchen sink, ask yourself, "Would this be a good person to start a multi-million dollar international corporation with?"

Case-in-point: Facebook, Google and Instagram likely wouldn't be on your radar today if it weren't for a stroke of luck and a chance encounter between some classmates.
