Finding a good roommate can be tough. You need to choose someone you like and get along with, but someone who is responsible and has a little maturity, too. Sometimes you’ll have different schedules, and this may lead to people working, studying or playing at all different times. You also have to be respectful of each other’s needs and values, and remember, too, that certain things about another person will eventually get on your nerves a little.
Spend a lot of time talking to people and try to find someone with whom you have a lot in common. You won’t always be on the same page with another person, but, if you take some time and try to choose wisely, it can be a fun and rewarding experience.
