College Norms - New Roommate

Arrival on campus New roommate Change in parent's behavior?

Year end, summer is here!    

One of the biggest adjustments I had to make came when I found out that my roommate was ah, you know, multicultural.

At first, I thought we had nothing in common, not personally, not socially, not culturally.

Then after talking things out, we learned not only how to appreciate our differences. But, that by making a sincere effort to communicate and understand one another things would be okay !

And that's especially important when...well, you understand.

Every now and then, you and your roommate should have a heart-to-heart talk about important issues affecting the two of you.
