You're in The Reading Room...

Tip #1 Don’t Procrastinate

Instead of shying away from the process and procrastinating, be sure to take full advantage of the tools provided by your university housing office as they become available this summer (i.e. university approved roommate questionnaires and online tools…).

Tip #2 Be Honest About Yourself

Be honest about yourself to increase your chances of finding a roommate who is compatible with you (i.e., shares similar schedule, living habits, and interests…); somebody with the same expectations of the roommate relationship.

Tip #3 Don't Room With Your Bestie 

If you want to keep your best friend throughout college, you may not want to be their roomie. Be open minded and use this experience as an opportunity to make lifelong friends in college.

Good luck in finding the best college roommate for you and remember to live dorm smart!
