What if students have roommate problems?
Learning about how to live with a roommate can be both exciting and challenging. It is not uncommon for roommates, even the best of friends, to experience conflict during the year. Often the conflict is a result of not communicating and addressing issues. When not addressed, the smallest issue sometimes grows into a seemingly huge problem. Students who experience roommate problems are encouraged to discuss the issue with their roommate. The Resident Assistant can also assist roommates in resolving a conflict that arises. Other online, peer and professional staff resources are also available to all residents from the housing Web site.
