All roommate requests must be mutual. |

Get to know your Roommate
One of the best things about living on campus is meeting new people. While rooming with a friend from home may seem great, rooming with someone you don't know has advantages too. You'll broaden your perspective and, it's often easier to express your likes and dislikes with someone you are just getting to know.
Take time to write or call your roommate before you arrive on campus. You'll discover each other's likes and dislikes, and you can coordinate who brings what. This one simple step will go a long way in breaking the ice for the first day and you won't end up with two microwaves and no refrigerator. |
|
 |
|
| |
| The Roommate Contact (Adobe pdf) can help you and your roommate put your thoughts about living together in concrete, written terms. You and your roommate(s) should decide such things as study time, guests, use of personal property, and housekeeping. |
| |
| You should be honest and listen to each other, and be willing to compromise. By coming to mutual agreements on important issues, you can avoid conflicts.
But what if your efforts do not work? First, you should ask your resident advisor (RA) or area coordinator for assistance in resolving the situation. Then, if all of your efforts are not successful, beginning two weeks after the first day of classes you may go to your area office and request a room change. |
