ULV Class of 2020 Roommate Finder

What are some important character traits to look for in a University of La Verne roommate? It's important to look for someone who shares similar values and goals as yourself, such as a serious academic mindset, good communication skills, and a respectful attitude towards others in the dorm. Additionally, having a compatible sleep schedule and cleanliness habits can make the living situation much smoother. How can I assess whether a potential University of La Verne roommate will be a good fit before committing to sharing a living space? One way to do this is to ask important questions during the initial meeting or interview. Find out about their basic habits such as sleep schedule, study habits, and cleanliness, and ask about their expectations for living arrangements. Additionally, you can get to know them better by meeting up for coffee or attending an event together. Should I prioritize finding a University of La Verne roommate who shares similar interests and hobbies as myself? While it's always nice to find someone who shares your interests, it's not necessarily a dealbreaker. Consider your lifestyle and define your expectations from a roommate. Two individuals who have fundamentally different interests can still be good roommates if they coexist well and respect each other's lifestyle choices. However, finding something you have in common with each other can lead to new friendships that may last well beyond university.
