Sharing a room may be a new experience for you. At Ithaca College, your roommate relationship is an important part of your residential experience. You'll be sharing not just a space, but also many aspects of college life together.
While you and your roommate do not have to be close friends, you will live together and share in many aspects of college life. The best way for you and your roommate to get to know each other and avoid unintentional conflicts is to talk about your likes and dislikes, and expectations of how you will use your room space.
Build strong connections, resolve conflicts early, and feel at home in our residential community.
