Roommate requests must be mutual. On the application write the full name of your requested roommate and her or his student ID number. Every attempt will be made to honor roommate requests, but these requests cannot be guaranteed. Decide with your roommate what is private property and what is available for common use. Talk things out.
Communication is the key.
Each roommate deserves consideration, respect, honesty, patience, and understanding from the other. All roommates have a responsibility to establish and maintain a livable atmosphere. You and your roommate may become lifelong friends. However, you don't have to be best friends to live successfully with and enjoy another person as you exchange ideas and opinions. If a problem should arise, try to deal with it as soon as possible.
