There doesn't seem to be
much roommate switching in
residence halls, according to
student assistants (SAs) in
Schramm, Harper, Heppner
and Love Halls. ;
"Most of the girls have
learned how to get along with
their roommates, and that's
part of a dormitory
environment. I'd estimate
about 14 of the residents
switch roommates," a
Schramm SA said.
A Harper SA said most of
the switching goes on at the
beginning of the school year.
He said many roommates stick
it out with each other "because
it's too much of a hassle to
move ou '
Roommate switching is at a
minimum at Heppner and Love
Halls, a male SA there said.
The two hails house students in
the Centennial Educational
Program (CEP). However, one
female SA tit Love Hall
reported a lot of roommate
switching on her floor. She said
that, out of 35 residents, 16
requested different roommates.
Contrasting life styles were
the most common reasons
residents gave for wanting new
roommates. Other reasons
given were smoking (one
person smokes cigarets, the
other doesn't), personal .
conflicts, personality clashes,
personal habits and different
values.
Many freshman ., switch
roommates after meeting new
friends on their floor, and
others switch for more
compatible roommates,
according to the SAs.
Most roommate switching
ends on friendly terms, the SAs
said. They also noted that
former roommates generally
get along better after they're
separated.
The SAs said they generally .
try not to interfere with
roommate problems. Most said
they talk with both
roommates, and try to offer
alternative solutions or suggest
ways to work out their
differences. But, several SAs -said,
roommate switching is the
best solution.
One Love Hall SA, however,
said roommates with problems
should stick together and try
to work out their differences.
She said many people who live
in a residence hail for the first
time are used to having a
private room She said not
enough emphasis is put on
roommates to work out their
problems and learn to share.
Tow iiMiiy pu(x' Hrtr iiiii,
she said. '
When high school friends
decide to room together in
college, it usually works out,
according to most SAs. But,
they said, it depends on the
people.
One danger with friends
rooming together, the SAi said,
was that they tend to stick
together too much, and don't
make a lot of new friends.
One way to resolve
roommate problems 'would be
through preference cards, a
Love Hall SA said.
"As long as they're going to
have preference cards for living
units and floors, they should
have roommate preference
cards. It would make it a lot
easier to pair roommates
together who have similar
interests," she said.
Another SA thought the
present system of selecting
roommates was adequate.
