Finding a Roommate

Whether you’ve already found a roommate or are still looking, it’s important to consider each person’s living style to ensure compatibility. Twelve months can be a long time if things aren’t going well. 

We suggest that you talk to your intended or potential roommate/s about each of these important topics. If you and your roommate seem compatible, review and sign the roommate agreement.

  • Sleeping habits
  • Overnight guests
  • Eating habits

  • Housekeeping habits
  • Emotional expression
