A: One of the best things about college is meeting new people -- especially your new roommate!

It can take time to adjust to sharing your room with a total stranger, but if you just don’t get along, you do have options. Consulting your resident assistant or resident director is the first step -- he or she can help you talk through your issues.

If things can’t be resolved, you can submit a vacancy request form or ask for a one-to-one room change with the Office of Residential Life.
