Roommate Hints and Tips It is important to communicate openly and honestly with your roommate. When moving in with your roommate, an online roommate contract and questionnaire will be available for you to fill out with your roommate. It is important to go through the topics on the sheet of paper to help you discuss living together.
Roommate Troubles and Mediation If you are having troubles with your roommate or feel tension, please stop in and talk to the Residence Hall Coordinator or a Resident Assistant. The residence hall staff is trained to help with these situations. If you are having trouble with your roommate, we encourage you to first talk to your roommate. When you discuss troubles with the Residence Hall Coordinator, they help find the best solution for your situation as each situation is generally unique.
Room or Roommate Change Roommate changes will not be made until two weeks after the fall move in day unless extenuating circumstances are identified. Room change requests must be requested through the Residence Hall Coordinator of the building. Requesting a room or roommate change will not necessarily result in a room or roommate change because space is limited. Room change requests may not be honored for reasons of convenience or preference of roommate. If your room or roommate change request is approved, the resident must make arrangements to expedite the process quickly.
