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. Your roommate is not a mind reader. Living with a roommate is not like fast food you can t always have it your way.
