Your first year in the dorms will most likely be spent with a roommate. It is a unique experience living on your own with someone else your age for the first time. It can be troublesome sometimes, however. When people live together they often end up driving each other mad. This is why it's important to take your roommate agreement seriously when you write it. You need to abide by it and remember that it is there. If not, your relationship with your roommate could get shaky. I knew a couple of girls who had been the best of friends before they lived together. Once they were roommates, however, they began to argue and fight and eventually one of them had to move out and find somewhere else to live. I think this is avoidable if you and your roommate understand and respect each other.
Below are a couple websites with specific tips on surviving living with a roommate:
