I donโt know if I am weird but in my first year I hate having friends in dorm because of my sleep schedule I have class at 8 I love to sleep they want to stay awake , i really hate ittttt I was feeling uncomfortable I even bought eye mask wearing EarPods when sleeping . After that I left the room and I went to other room and I was lonely. So I am going the second year and I am wishing that I have friends that I like and fit to them

I'm happy you had a good experience. I've had roommates for awhile now and I am just now figuring out that if I am annoyed by something and I don't COMMUNICATE that I am annoyed and build resentment and get angry then that means I am the asshole. It inspires me to get better at saying no and saying when something bothers me. Communication is like 90 percent of a good roommate experience

I feel like Iโm lucky since my university has a roommate matching form! You fill it out and they match you up with someone based on how compatible you are

Does this advice work the same if you want to live in an apartment? ๐คจ
@caprieverettesquad7455This advice is amazing๐๐คฉ๐คฉ
@caprieverettesquad7455๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
@caprieverettesquad7455Most of these principles can be applied to any relationship/ friendship etc. Quite a lot of these items were issues discussed in my pre-marital counseling over twenty years ago. Learning how to live with other people. Most things are common sense, but not all parents/ households teach common sense and decency these days. To some people each of these subjects might be totally foreign.
@fourlittlebirds6166Iโm planning to go to PNCA even tho Iโm not in high school yet
@w3llthenI'm doing an exchange at NYC. I live in Switzerland but I'm moving with my cousin who lives there. So l'm watching this & you honestly have great tips! :)
@ellona3645im grateful my roommate is really good about communicating
@Anna-si4ckMe and my sister are a little bit like opposites and actually do these things lol
Our rule is to be quite before 10AM, because we both stay up late but I wake up around 8 and she wakes up at around 11. After 10 I am allowed to open the blinds, listen to music (within a reasonable volume) etc etc. Before 10AM I cannot shine lights around etc. She can continue to sleep after 10 but she cannot get mad at me for making noises. Same thing for night time, we go to bed at around 10, if one of us is in bed after 10 with the lights off trying to sleep the other one cannot turn the lights on and has to use a flashlight.
This rule works miracles so I definitely suggest it

@ananyasharma2834I look up to you
@badkidtonoAlso from someone who went to summer camp for years, earplugs and a sleep mask are your best friends for noisy/bright roommates at night! It lets you sleep unbothered while still letting them do whatever!
@marcy3959Where did you get your ring from? I love it
@yoop2179thanks Audrey, these are really

@KS-ns9lkMy roommate for college is coming from Korea and it has been a rocky start with communication I'm trying my best to relate ๐ญ
@minthe5812thank you so much for this
@Naithesther7085My mom had a roommate who didnโt do her laundry, didnโt shower or do anything to actually clean herself up. It got so bad that my mom and her two other roommates dumped her into the tub.
As long as I donโt have a roommate like that, Iโll be golden.
Thanks for the tips! The college I'll be attending next year uses an app to help us find roommates and the guy I'm talking to currently is a 76% match! I hope all goes well!
@joshhart2205What are some questions to ask when trying to find a roommate?
@kyleachapple4346you look so much like Blair Waldorf lol
@jafarmansoor1078I've always wondered about something, why do u guys spend so much money to go to college in the US and spend so much money while u might move to a European country and spend waaaaay less?
@blue4107im so shy and im scared for college and talking to roommates
@brooklynnamberI roomed with my identical twin in the dorms and SO glad I got to do that. If we fought we still talked to each other in the morning.
