Some roommates can reach agreements, while others are in a constant state of dispute.
When conflicts cannot be resolved, mediation has become the alternate solution. Mediation is a process in which a third person, a mediator, acts to facilitate and assist in the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties. The objective is to help the parties reach an informed and mutually acceptable agreement. The mediator assists the parties in identifying issues and exploring settlement options. Student Mediation Services is an organization for all students to help settle disputes between student groups and organizations.
