Take time to figure out what your habits are and what interests you before going to school. Be honest about yourself. Call your roommate before going to school more than once. Discuss more than what you re majoring in and who is bringing the stereo. Be open-minded and patient.
First impressions can be misleading.
Give your roommate a chance. Roommates don t have to be best friends. Ask before borrowing. Respect each other s possessions. It s obvious, but true.
