People have different internal thermosats. My boyfriend will break a sweat when his apartment is at 70 degrees while I'll be walking around in a sweatshirt, pants, and socks. My roomie and I keep our temperature at 75; my sister came to visit this weekend and she claimed my apartment felt like a meat locker. Your roommate may honestly be freezing when you turn the temperature down to 72 while you're burning up. You guys need to sit down and compromise on a temperature that you both are comfortable at.

Another reason she could be turning the air up to 75 is to save money on electricity. It's a lot of money to keep an apartment at 70 degrees. It'll wind up costing you guys more if you keep switching it back and forth on each other. The air conditioning has to overcompensate every time you turn it back down to 70 from 75.
