Your college roommate(s) may be one of your most difficult relationships you'll ever have to deal with. Even if you genuinely like your roommate as a person it doesn't necessarily make for an easy road. No matter how much you may enjoy your friends, there are simple rules that must be followed when living together. That is, if you or your friendship want to survive.
{These rules aren't just for those in college. They are rules for everyone living with anyone!}
- Discuss important issues & establish rules.
