RoommatesHANDSHAKE-ALTAs exciting as it can be to move into a residence hall, it can also seemnerve-wracking to live with someone new for the first time. That beingsaid, having a roommate can be a wonderful chance to learn aboutothers. Here are some tips for creating a great roommate relationship!1 e honest and be yourself! Like any new relationship, you’ll want toBstart off on the right foot and be true to who you are. This way yourroommate can get to know the real you. If you are open about yourown personality, wants, and needs, it’s likely that your roommate willopen up as well.2 ave an open mind. Not everyone is coming from the sameHbackground that you are, in fact most people that you meet whilein college will have come from walks of life that are vastly differentfrom your own. Try to be understanding and considerate of others’identities and experiences.3 et clear expectations from the beginning. You and yourSroommate will never know exactly what each other is thinking,so you need to be clear about what your expectations are forthe shared space. Consider this: who is going to be responsiblefor taking out the garbage? How late can you leave the lights onat nightt? Can you borrow each others’ belongings? These areimportant questions, so we recommend discussing these with yourroommate soon after you move in. Roommate contracts can besuper helpful!You don’t have to be best friends with your roommate, or even4 friends at all. We could never expect you to force a friendship withsomeone when it’s not meant to be. However, we do expect thatyou can build a respectful relationship and share the space that youboth pay for. Some roommates do become good friends, others justchat every now and again. Either type of relationship is fine, so longas you are able to communicate with and respect each other.5 hen in doubt, talk it out. Just like how you and your roommateWare likely to have different lifestyles, you’re also likely to havedifferent ways of addressing conflict. No matter what yourrelationship is with your roommate, conflict is bound to arise atsome point. The best way to make sure you get through it is totalk about it.Remember, there’s always someone here to help! Make sure you6 get to know your designated Resident Assistants, as they can helpwhen conflict becomes too tough to handle. RAs are speciallytrained in mediation and conflict management and are alwayshappy to help you work it out.3
