Living with a Roommate
The key to getting to know your roommate is communication. You cannot discover who he/she is unless you talk to each other. While we hope all roommates have a positive experience together, it is not guaranteed that you will become best friends, nor is that necessarily expected. When roommates don't get along, it can make for a challenging year. How do you work through problems with your roommate? Here are some tips:
- Communication is the key. Talk to each other and tell your roommate when you are upset about something he/she did.
- Be tactful when sharing your feelings with your roommate.
- Be a good listener. Try to see each other's viewpoint.
- Remain pleasant and control your emotions.
- Discuss little problems as they arise to prevent them from escalating into bigger conflicts.
- Be assertive in asking for what you want or need.
- If you need a mediator, contact your RA.
- After you begin to get to know each other, you may be able to prevent problems by making an agreement about what will and will not occur in your room. Many people have great success with informal conversations, while others like to write an actual contract. If you and your roommate think that negotiating a formal contract is a good idea, you will want to consider the following issues:
Study time in the room
Visitation and guest policy
Bathroom use and cleaning schedule for suite living
Cleaning the room, suite, and bathroom
How you will handle any problems or conflicts
Sharing of food and cost of groceries
Use of one another’s property, including use of stereo, TV, computer, etc.
Space for clothes, luggage and storage
Use of phone and relaying messages
