How do you deal with a college roommate?

If you're having issues with a college roommate you find disruptive or intrusive, it can be helpful to create a boundaries list. This list should outline specific boundaries you expect your roommate to respect, such as noise levels during study hours or sharing personal items. Once you’ve created a boundaries list, you can sit down with your roommate and go over it together. Be clear and firm about your boundaries, but listen to your roommate's concerns.
