Residential Life Getting Along Be friendly and helpful. Roommates do not have to be best friends, but being friends makes living together more comfortable. Smile, be happy.
Nobody likes a grouch, sour puss, or someone who is moody.
Learn to share. That room belongs to you and your roommate. Arrange the room together and everybody will feel better. Be considerate and understanding. Learn to accept your roommate who might have a different background and see things differently than you.
