Living with Roommates

The key to helping your child adjust to a new living situation is to stress open communication and understanding. Here are some suggestions for helping your student deal with roommates:

• Stay Calm: Be compassionate and supportive, and help brainstorm solutions without taking drastic action or making your student feel even more distress.
• Put the Power in Their Hands: Encourage them to confront roommate issues head-on, before they get out of control—preferably face-to-face rather than by email or text.
• Lean on RAs & Support Staff: Live-in resident assistants, peer ministers and professional staff are trained in conflict resolution and problem solving techniques.
• Build Confidence: Encourage your student by focusing all the positives they bring to relationships in their lives. This can give them the confidence they need to have a productive dialogue with their roommate.
