Living with a roommate
Whether you’re assigned to a single room, double room or suite, you’ll have to learn how to live with others. Shared spaces, different schedules and new personalities can create a stressful environment. Communication, patience and understanding will help you build a successful roommate relationship. Remember that some roommates may become close friends, while others will remain acquaintances.
Your Residence Assistants (RAs) can help you work through any issues. These students are trained in conflict mediation and will work towards creating a comfortable environment for you and your roommate. You may also consider a roommate agreement.
