My student isn’t getting along with their roommate. What can they do?

• Students should first look to have a conversation with their roommate where they directly identify the problems they are encountering. It is important to be direct about what behavior is harmful and how it is affecting your student while also working toward compromise. It can be helpful to use “I feel… when you… “ type of statements to help your student both identify the impact of their roommates behavior, while helping the roommate understand the conflict.
• If a student is struggling with the situation and is unsure of how to address it, students are encouraged to meet with their Resident Assistant (RA) to talk through the situation and possible solutions for the conflict.
• RAs can also set up a roommate mediation between the two students if struggles persist.
• RAs act as the liaison between students and Residence Life within a roommate conflict should further action need to be taken. RAs will advocate on the student's behalf and help them take the necessary actions depending on the situation and the recommendation of Residence Life.
