Have you ever had to share a home with a stranger or even a close friend, only to find out you can't live together? Living with other people is difficult, especially when each person comes from a different background and has their own ideas about how they want to live. When I am doing my college, I’ve lived with a roommate who is right for me in one of the Atlanta apartment. Here are some points discuss about how to be a good roommate. Find the good roommate to begin with to select a roommate on the basis of how friendly they are, but you're better off judging them on the basis of day-to-day living compatibility. Compare their daily habits to yours.
- Are they early risers or night owls?
- What temperature do they think is comfortable?
- How much TV do they watch?
- Respect each others other’s privacy and personal space.
- Avoid from allergic products.
- Do they smoke or do any other kinds of recreational drugs?
- What decorating style do they have?
- Set boundaries and stick with them. This applies to food, clothes, possessions, loud activities, use of common areas, parties, quiet hours, cleaning responsibilities, and so on.
- Be ready to compromise. Because everyone don’t have the same ideas about day-to-day living as you do. You can't ask your roommate to change himself or herself if you're not willing to change as well.
- Every day spend some time with your friend and Say hello and goodbye, ask them how their day was, and show interest in his or her life.
- Divide the responsibilities.
- Share thoughts and ideas.
