Getting Ready for a Living Experience With a New Roommate?
The College Roommate Success Kit helps build a
successful start.
Difficulties with college roommates are
as common as the dust bunnies (and other strange items) living under your
roommate’s bed. That’s why it is so
important to get off to a good start with a new roommate.

them sneak up on you? Use the Roommate
