Students who choose to live on campus are exposed to a stimulating variety of opportunities that maximize growth and development. The result is a positive blend of culturally rich backgrounds and interests among the residents. One of the most positive aspects of living on-campus is preparing to be a roommate. Life with roommates can provide some of the most rewarding times a student will have at Gardner-Webb.
Many people develop lifelong relationships that begin with roommates, suite mates and hall mates.
With a little effort, each student can create a roommate experience that will be remembered for years to come. This sudden change in lifestyle may be a challenging, but rewarding transition. The most important step you can take in preparing to become a roommate is to learn to communicate. The ability to communicate effectively with your roommate is perhaps the single most important factor in avoiding conflicts. Open up the lines of communication early in the summer.
