The key to a great relationship with your roommate is communication and consideration. Here are some helpful tips to getting along with your roommate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Put yourself in their shoes. Nothing is more true than the golden rule of residence halls: \u201cDo unto your roommate as you would like your roommate to do unto you.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Try not to have conversations while emotional. Often we say things during arguments that may be hurtful to the other person.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to your Resident Assistant. They have experience with roommate issues and can give great suggestions to resolve conflicts. Also, they can arrange a meeting between roommates and act as an impartial mediator.<\/li>\n<li>Opposites attract. If your roommate is totally unlike you, use this opportunity to get to know them and grow as a person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Decorating Information<br \/>\n<\/strong>We encourage you to decorate your room to make it feel like home.
