<p>To be completely honest, if my roommate immediately started setting down all these “ground rules” the first day, I’d be really put off. I totally understand that you don’t want people taking your food, but the odds that your roommate will be rude enough to just blatantly steal your things is extremely unlikely. If it becomes a problem, talk to them, but you really don’t want to be that person who immediately assumes they’re going to take everything. Your roommate could be your best friend-- just chill out and get to know her. </p>
<p>Also, I can pretty much guarantee you that you’re not going to have enough room for 2 fridges and 2 microwaves. I know a lot of people who kept their own microwave for religious reasons, but other than that, it’s virtually unheard of to keep two separate ones.</p>
<p>Choose your battles when it comes to your roommate. This isn’t even an issue yet (taking your food), so don’t make it one.</p>
