<p>I have conservative values. I am a Female, possibly living on campus. I am really scared I won’t get along with a roomate. Does anyone know why the application process for a roomate is? And is it possible for someone to also have conservative values like me? Please help!</p>
<p>Same thing for me. Never been about partying… I got along fine with my roommate, we just had to set some boundaries, like quiet hours and whatnot. Worked great!</p>
<p>The application process differs from school to school. Some have personality inventories that help in matching you with someone with similar interests, so I would look into that. I’d also recommend getting a roommate contract (RAs usually have them, if not just Google it) and having you and your roommate outline expectations & boundaries before the semester begins.</p>
<p>The process of getting paired with a roommate differs from school to school. At my school, there is no roommate questionnaire and the pairing is completely random. One year, I had a roommate who barely did any school work and liked to party. Another year, I got a conservative roommate who never partied. </p>
<p>I believe that if you do end up getting paired with somebody who you wouldn’t consider as conservative as you, you have to take into account that there are people who come from different lifestyles than you and that being successful with roommates and others on campus is to keep an open mind. I like to party (but not heavily) and my roommate does not party at all. I know where to set my boundaries when it comes to coming back to the room late on weekends, and I don’t judge my roommate for not partaking in partying. As long as what the roommate decides to do doesn’t interfere with yourself personally, then you have to keep an open mind and not judge.</p>
