Living with roommates can be tough. Actually, only rarely is it not difficult. In order to better facilitate good relations with your roommates, consider the following…

Respect each others’ privacy; everyone needs alone time now and again. Help with basic chores! One of my current roommates refuses to do this. As such, we’ve stopped inviting him out on our excursions. Clean up after yourself. No one likes dirty living quarters. Don’t do anything too stupid. You’re most likely going to be living with your roommates for a while. Try not to make it any more uncomfortable than it already is.

If you have a basic understanding of social interaction, these suggestions should be second-nature. For those who aren’t so lucky… I’m sorry.
