Illini Bluffs - The College Roommate Dynamic

Roommating is hard. And sometimes — more frequently than you might imagine — roommate situations erupt into really tough, super distracting outcomes. I spoke with a few current college students and several recent grads for this episode, and let me tell ya, this is one of those things your guidance counselor probably isn’t talking much about very much. We examine a few ideas, here, about the best way forward as both a roommate and a student with roommates. There are a few things you can do to make the potentially difficult road ahead much smoother, and we discuss them here from the perspective of current and former students with stories to tell.
