Hokie Living: Roommate 101 cont.

Some things to consider discussing with your roommate:

• Are you a morning person who goes to bed early or someone who stays up late and sleeps in? Are you a light or heavy sleeper? Do you take naps?
• Do you intend to share personal belongings? If so, are some things off limits?
• Will there be set quiet times for studying or sleeping? When should these times occur and how will this be managed? Under what conditions do you study best (e.g. music, silence, privacy)?
• How frequently should guests visit?
• How should we communicate and manage problems with each other should a problem arise?
• How clean do you expect the room to be?
