Have you ever had that one roommate in college that you just didn't understand? The one who just didn't seem to fit in with anyone else in the suite? I think when you are trying to join different people from different areas around the country and even the world, there needs to be a certain level of respect and communication flowing from roommate to roommate. I think if there is no communication, you cannot set your expectations of the upkeep or the chores that should be done. It is always good to have someone on your side in the room who you can go to for advice and for personal tips. How can roommates learn to get together better? What are some tips? |

Communication is the most important thing in this situation. Otherwise a lack of this could lead to misunderstandings and hard feelings. Adjusting to and succeeding in college is stressful enough. There's no need to create drama in your living situation, too. |

Another good tip is, if your roommate is engaging in things he/she shouldn't be, warn them about reporting them, before you report them. That way, they know that you are serious, have standards, and hopefully they will be respectful. If you find yourself faced with the inevitable, the guilty party can't say they haven't been warned...

Yes, but make sure to do it in a way to ensure nothing is done to your property. Sure, you're setting boundaries, but that if that person is far gone then it is likely he/she might try to teach you a lesson by destroying your belongings or getting you into trouble. Proceed with great caution. |
