I finished drying a load in it, but the next day when my roommate tried to turn it on there was a soft clicking noise when you pressed in the starter button, but nothing else happened. It's b/w 5 & 6 years old I think. Any suggestion/advice/help?

Then the first thing to check on the dryer is the terminal block that the electrical cord is connected to, and make sure the connections are ok.

You need to check for voltage at both the outlet and the back of the dyer using a voltmeter to make sure its present. Remember you will be working around live voltage when doing this. If you dont feel comfortable with that then dont mess with it.
