Some Tips for Success

Discuss important issues
Cover everything from sleep habits to views about sex and alcohol.

Consider writing a roommate agreement
Some people find it easier to stick to formal agreements. Here's a link to a roommate agreement form (.pdf).

Negotiate and compromise
Practice the art of "give and take".

Try mediation
If you can't resolve a problem, get help. A third party can often assist in helping you and your roommate to see things more clearly. (Check out the roommate conflicts section for more information)
