When you finally decide on your roommate then what?
There are a lot of things you and your roommate should discuss or you should do as your getting to know each other. My freshman year at Western which I am currently in I had to make a room change. It was the best thing for me because my roommate was the total opposite of me. Just to keep things in tact in case and to avoid a few problems and don't know how to approach them here's a few tips to help.
1. Make a list of rules you both come up with together for the room then also make personal lists. Rules for the room could consist of not leaving clothes on the floor or making a cleaning schedule for the room. Personal lists could consists of your favorite snacks their not allowed to eat.
2. SHOW RESPECT! If you know your roommate is studying for an exam tomorrow don’t have a mini turn up with all your friends in the room.
3. If your expecting "bae" to come over make sure your roommate is aware and it isn't a total surprise.
4. If you go in blind PLEASE take time getting to know them. You will possibly have a lot of common interest and could become the best of friends. YOU NEVER KNOW!
