Roommate Considerations

Who you live with may be even more important than where you live, so it’s a good idea to think through the decision of whether to have roommates and who your roommates will be.

While your best friend might seem like an obvious choice, be sure that you have considered the challenges that living in close quarters will bring. Living together can sometimes strain friendships, especially if you disagree about cleanliness, parties, guests, paying bills, or expectations of each other. Be sure to check out the Regis University roommates page to search for roommates who are a good fit for you.

Check out the guide below for some questions to ask yourself and potential roommates as you begin your search.
