BUILDING: ___________
BELOIT COLLEGE ROOMMATE AGREEMENT
ROOM:
___________
ROOMATES: ________________________________________________________________
Communication is the most important factor in building a good roommate relationship. Many roommates
assume they know how each other feels and do not discuss issues like the use of personal belongings.
These assumptions are not always correct and can lead to conflict. The Roommate Agreement will help
you begin the process of discussing issues that have been found to be sources of conflict. Once a potential
conflict is identified, it can be resolved through compromise before a major problem arises. Your RA is
always a resource for you too, but they’ll often ask what your roommate agreement says!
