I think that one tops virtually every Washburn professor's wish list concerning their students. In my own experience, I've found this one to be invariably true. They also advised students not to be afraid to ask questions for fear of looking stupid. Again, I've seen this suggestion confirmed several times while here at Washburn. Daytime hours are best for study, and a 10-minute break should accompany every hour of study.
Roommates are also a part of campus life for many students.
The Ohio State people mention that it's a good idea to agree on rules for using the phone and paying the bills from day one. Also, it's good to sit down and hash out certain things immediately. You can do it in a lighthearted way, but let them know. Find out what theirs are, too. At a university dorm in another city, I once saw an extreme example of what can happen when this advice is ignored.
