1 College may seem like a mystery to you right now. But remember, it’s brand new for everyone else in your class, too. You’re about to join a great group — the Clemson family! And you’ll have the time of your life as you find your place in the Clemson com­ munity. If you’re nervous about having a roommate, don’t worry. Some students have never shared a room with anyone, but it’s not as hard as you may think. You can have a great time! At Clemson, you’ll get to know many different kinds of people — that’s a good thing. Learning to live with other students is as much a part of your college education as anything you’ll learn in the classroom. We’ve included your housing assignment in this package with the name and address of your roommate. You may want to contact him or her before you arrive at Clemson. Students tell us that the letters, phone calls and emails they ex­ changed before coming to campus took a lot of pressure off their first day here. So, start getting to know each other and then relax. We know you want to fit in here. And, at Clemson, we’re in it together!

14 15 Talk About It Want to know how to get along with room­ mates? Talk to them! It’s the most important thing you can do in a relationship. If something is bothering you, the sooner you talk about it, the sooner you’ll be able to work it out. After all, no one can read your mind, and you can’t read anyone else’s!

Lend an Ear Sometimes, it’s just one of those days. Try to understand why your roommate may have reacted a certain way. It may have nothing to do with you. Maybe he or she is having a tough time and just needs someone to listen . . . may­ be your roommate can do the same for you.

Take a Breather Everyone needs a little space occasionally — time to be alone and just think things out. Keep that in mind, and give each other time for privacy. You can fill your need for peace and quiet while your roommate is in class or at a club meeting.

Be User Friendly We each have our own ideas about sharing our things. Take the time to ask before you bor­ row things that belong to your roommate. It’s an even better idea to talk this out up front and Room­ agree on what’s community property and what’s off limits.

Share Your Neat Ideas You may have your own version of a clean mates: room, but make sure you share that “vision” Respect Is the Key with your roommate. The two of you should decide together what’s a comfortable level of clean. Living with a roommate doesn’t have to be a “big deal.” The most important thing is that you keep an open mind and learn to respect each other. Get to know your new roommate the same as you would any other new person. You already know that both of you want a Clemson education! So, just take it from there.
