Finding Roommates
- Roommates can be found through word of mouth once you arrive in the U.S. or through professional services, like Roommates.com or Roomster.com. Craigslist.org also has a section specifically for rooms and shared apartments.
- Roommate Agreement: When living with a roommate or multiple roommates, issues can arise. Before finalizing your housing situation, it’s a good idea to sit down with your roommate(s) to discuss apartment/house rules and delegate responsibilities.
- How to Get Along With Roommates
- Roommate Conflicts: Even if you get along well with your roommates and abide by your house rules, conflicts can always come up. It’s important to communicate with your roommates to avoid escalating a problem. You can also contact InterExchange for advice regarding a housing conflict.
