Roommates
Sharing living space with another person is an option for many off campus students. Some benefits to shared living include; dividing cost of living expenses, having someone to hang out with, shop with, study with, and spend your college days with. While benefits exist one should consider drawbacks of living with someone who may have different cleaning, sleeping and study habits as well as different views about religion and politics.
GET TO KNOW YOUR ROOMATE
Making and effort to get to know your roomates is important. Besides name, hometown, major, and classification, find out your roomate’s birthday, his/her favorite food or television show. Be honest and open about expectations!
ROOMATES AND LEASES
If you or your roomate’s moves out during the lease term, management will hold those who have signed the lease responsible for any rent due. Property owners usually try to collect the full amount of rent from the roomate remaining in the apartment. Because of this liability you should be careful in selecting a roomate.
