Welcome to The Ultimate Guide to Freshman Year! Today's post is going to be all about living with a roommate. This can be a scary thing for those of us who have only lived at home. We've heard the horror stories! A roommate can be your best friend or your worst enemy. I wrote this post to give you all 10 Tips on how to make living with a roommate easier. I had quite a time adjusting to living with someone I hardly knew, and I know a lot of people struggle with that. I'm hoping these tips will prepare you for what's to come. :) The experience really is what you make of it! 12 TIPS FOR LIVING WITH A ROOMMATE

I'm going to college this year and really like how you mentioned things like differing sleep schedules and communicating about sharing. I tend to be uncomfortable starting potentially awkward conversations, do you have any advice on how to approach a personal subject with your roommate?

My best advice is to discuss your preferences as soon as you move in! My roommate and I were given a "roommate contract" and though no one else took it seriously, we took our time filling it out and discussing how we felt about sleeping, sharing, studying, etc.
