So you just received your roommate assignment...now what?
Get in touch with your roommate ASAP! Whether it be through email, text, call, or snail mail, it is so important to create a line of communication to talk about yourselves, as well as your new home! Don't worry if they take a little bit to respond, summer is a busy time for all of us :)
Get to know each other! There have been many random-rooming success stories, where roommates end up being best friends! However, it is also okay if you don't click with your roommate. No matter the situation, you will find your people!
Once you have reached your roommate, begin thinking about what items you want in your room! We like to save money so buy wisely (not everything has to be new!)
Check out our "What to Bring" section to help you pack lightly!
When the time comes, it is always smart to have your parents /guardians exchange numbers.
Be kind and be considerate!
If issues ever arise, communication is key. Talk with your roommate and ask your RA for advice on how to go about roommate situations.
