Since this might be my last post, I’d like to write for those of you who will eventually have new roommates too. There’s a lot of advice that I’d like to share in regards to living with a stranger. In the end, it can be a healthy experience where many things can be learned. I’ve become accustomed to all of the cultural differences and I’m glad.
Firstly, you can attempt to talk about activities which you know you share similar tastes in. Secondly, if your roommates attempt to invite to you do activities with you, always be willing to accept and join them. You can always play sports together or alternatively, you can go do community service. I also think that going to get food together is great. It leaves space for much discussion and learning about each other.
Be courteous of their possessions and don’t make assumptions about what they’d like. Always ask if you want to use something that belongs to them unless they give you their permission. For example, my suite has certain policies that we all agree upon. Even though your roommate may be extremely nice and have no problem when you ask for something, continue this routine until you can feel very comfortable together.
I'll finish off this post with a picture of me and my roommate
