Roommate Relationships - Do you know who you're sleeping with?
Description:
At the beginning of the year we invited our school's
Office of Freshman Success to our floor to do a
"Roommate Workshop". We offered pizza
and prizes if both roommates showed up (they were
construction paper certificates and candy bars).
We also played the "Roommate
Game" which is another version of the
"Newlywed Game". We talked about how
to create boundaries in a roommate situation and still
have a good time. There was lots of discussion on
what a roommate shouldn't do. We also invited two
sets of roommates who were still living together to talk
about how things worked out for them. Almost fifty
people showed up to this program and I got great
feedback!
Other Considerations:
Definitely think of a catchy slogan.
"Roommate Workshop" just won't cut it.
Ours was "Shouldn't you know who you're sleeping
with?"
