Talking Points
We encourage all of our residents to talk with their roommates and suitemates prior to move-in. Below
are suggested topics to get the conversation started:
» » Ask them what their preferred form of contact over the summer is, it may be their phone number, or it
may be their Facebook messenger
» » What you plan on bringing to campus- sometimes you don’t need 2 TVs, and maybe they have one that
works better in the space
» » Include anything that might be pertinent for them to know about you prior to move-in such as allergies
» » Other topics include: study habits, sharing, cleaning, guests, and temperature
5 steps to successfully live with others
» » Communicate with your roommate
» » Talk with your RA about any unresolved issues
» » Participate in a mediated conversation
» » Amend the agreement that you set up in the beginning of the year
» » Continue to keep an open form of communication with your RA and your roommate
