The Ultimate College Roommate Questionnaire You Need To Get Along With Your Roomie
I recently published an article on the most important questions you need to ask your future college roommate. However, I always planned on creating a college roommate questionnaire that is still important, but not as crucial as the ones in my previous list. I want you to get to know your roommates and also get along with them. This college roommate questionnaire will definitely help you feel more comfortable living with someone new.
College Roommate Questionnaire
Getting to know your roommates is one of the first experiences that I remember having as a college student. For me, my roommate was one of my best friends freshman year and her sister was like my mentor and bonus sister on campus. I’ve never admitted this to them but I think one of the reasons my college life was so great was because of the people I lived with! Not only my college freshman roommate, but my hallmates were incredible as well. We went to freshman events together, got involved on campus together, and even had some of the same classes.
All of my favorite relationships on campus started by asking a question. Breaking that barrier of awkward nervousness between you and another freshman can quite literally change the trajectory of your college experience. Honestly, I wouldn’t have had half of the experiences I did if I didn’t talk to get to know the people I lived with. So, really use this college roommate questionnaire. Make the most of this new college experience.
