Both focus on the crazy lives and hijinks that come with college dorm life. Friendship, romance, comedy, heartbreak, and all the trials of your early twenties.
Both series are about a group of people living under the same roof. SNWI is more like a life in a foreign student dorm though, so more people were involved. Both are fun to watch, and if you like rom-com then these two series could be your company on Friday night.
