Dealing with roommates

 

Even though the staff at WestMar Student Lofts do their best to match you up with someone of a similar lifestyle sometimes it can be a hit and miss. However, If you find yourself in "the ring" with your roommate try these teqniques

You should: 

- Stay calm 

-Try talking things out by voicing your concerns about the problems you’re having (try to do this without attacking your roommate) 

- Encourage your roommate to voice their concerns if they have any

- Offer to make changes yourself 

- Find some common ground

If the situation becomes worse don’t be afraid to get a resident life director involved. This is always the best way to get an unbiased opinion about the situation that others may not be able to provide. Therefore, take it upon yourself to improve your living conditions by taking the first step and being a bigger person.
