Living with Multiple Roommates PDF Print this Guide Email this Guide

Explains what happens when you start living with more than one roommate.  Short but sweet.
Of all the guides this is probably going to be the shortest because this part is the easiest to explain. Do whatever is necessary to get into a room with the fewest roommates possible. If you don’t manage to get into a one or two person dorm room your first semester then immediately start scanning the populous for a roommate for the next semester. Most universities will allow you to pick someone you want to live with as long as that person agrees. If you tell the university things are not working out between you and your current roommate(s) they will grant your request to allow you to room with your new chosen roommate.

The reason why we are quick to rush to judgment on this topic is that the scenarios in which people refer to living with three or four others in a dorm, as “one of the more pleasant college memories” are very few and even farther between. It is simple, more people sharing the same small space. It is bearable, but why bear it if you don’t have to.
