入学莫nday: The Roommate 连接ion

Soon after 夏天 Orientation, the Office of Residence Life will send you details about your housing and roommate assignment. 你, 就像许多, may not know your roommate yet and you might understandably be a little nervous about living with a stranger. To help prepare you for the "getting-to-know-you" process, our 入学莫nday series continues with advice and practical ways for you to reach out and get to know each other.

ADVICE TO FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS:

Always remember that communication is key. While you and your roommate/suitemates don't have to be best buddies, it’s important to communicate and take an interest in each other's lives. Participate together in games, activities, and campus events and plan periodic meals together. These are just small steps toward building an understanding of one another. And who knows, you may end up close friends.

Starting tips to establish contact and get to know each other:

  • Contact your roommate/suitemates via email or social media. 如果使用社交媒体, keep in mind that people are more than what you see in posts - stay open-minded.

  • Start with basic information about yourself and questions to them such as: Where are you from? 你喜欢做什么? What's your favorite color? If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

  • Once you have some common ground, share what you plan to pack and bring to the room. One roommate could bring the sound system and the other could bring the TV.

  • After you feel more comfortable, work on setting some ground rules or parameters for the room. Topics could include agreement on visitor and coronavirus protocols, sleep and class schedules, or sharing responsibility for keeping the room stocked with snacks.
