to live with roomates

It's never easy to share a room or an apartment with people you don't know. But living with them teaches you a lot of things that you could have never learned by living alone. Living with others is not for everyone you either love it or hate it. The disadvantages are that even if you think you are getting along with your roomies there's bound to be arguments or  misunderstandings. The important thing is to always talk it out in a calm and rational manner. If your roommate/housemates are not willing to listen then ask for help through mediation programs but don't expect much if your roommates aren't willing to share or solve the problems. The next best thing is to just live it through and make friends so you can live with your friends next year. Join a club, get involved to make friends there are plenty of opportunities. I have lived with difficult roommates but they helped me be a better person and understand how to cope with people who are unwilling to listen to you.
