Roommates 101: How to Survive and Thrive in Campus Housing
Living on campus means more than just sharing a room—it’s about learning communication, setting boundaries, and building a sense of community. In this episode of State of Wellbeing, host Caitlin Walters sits down with Becky Peterson, Director of Housing and Residential Life, and Nathaniel Condelli, Assistant Director for Residential Life, to talk about the ups and downs of living with roommates. Together, they explore strategies for breaking the ice, handling conflict, setting boundaries, and making the most of campus housing. Listeners will also learn how community assistants and hall directors support students, and why investing in these relationships can make campus life more meaningful—and even more fun.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify effective strategies for building positive relationships with roommates.
2. Apply practical approaches to navigating roommate conflicts and differences in schedules, habits, or preferences.
