In college it is almost impossible to never have a roommate
or suitemate, unless you live at home and commute to campus. Which means you
need to embrace the idea that you will have one of the two. Roommates can be good
and bad. It’s good because, having one teaches you how to live with different
people with makes you more diverse and open to different things that you are
used to. It can be bad because you get some of those roommates That are almost
impossible to live with.
Ø
Always make a roommate or suitemate contract so
that your roommate is aware of what you are okay and not okay with. This
contract sets the tone for the year!
Ø
Things you don’t want shared keep in your
personal space so your roommate does not think it is okay to use. A treasure chest
with a lock is your best friend.
Ø
Build a relationship with your roommate.
Roommate can become lifetime friends. Your freshman roommate may be your roommate
throughout your entire college career and maybe after.
Ø
Split the cost on things you share to save
money. Always visit www.coupons.com or www.dgdigitalcoupons.com to help
save money on toilet paper, hygiene products, food, etc.
Ø
Go to events together but also make other
friends that just each other so that you don’t get annoyed by each other’s
company.
Ø
Decorate the room together so that you both feel
that the space belongs to both of you. www.pinterest.com
is a great website for cheap decorations.
