Choosing a room-mate is an important decision that one must make when starting college.
As a non- smoking tee-totaler it isn’t easy, but it will be important for my peace of mind whilst studying there for four years.
We should start out by mutually agreeing on certain rules. To trust each other these rules should never be breached.
I would prefer to have an older room-mate, for having previously had trouble with younger room-mates I feel that their maturity makes them the preferred option.
We should respect the others privacy and sleep requirements, even if it sometimes means we must study outside of the room.This should be a part of our reciprocal agreement.
Being sympathetic to the emotional and educational problems of the other would be a bonus.

Hi,
As far as I am concerned, I am in strong agreement with the proposal that selecting a roommate is an important decision in one’s life. It is not as easy as it looks simple. Everyone one has to go through this stage in his/ her life. A roommate is a person who always reflects in your personality. So because of this we must be conscious and careful in choosing a roommate. Sometimes we get a chance to find out our friends as a roommate but most of the time when we are in a foreign country for a job or studies and even we do not know the culture/customs of that country, then the question arises how do we find a good person as our roommate? I will try my level best to summarize the main points regarding this topic.
Sometimes University itself choose a roommate for us because they have better idea about selecting a person as a roommate due to number of reasons. Firstly, they know our field of education, our hobbies and our aims because they have given us a form to fill all these information, they have good psychologist and they can judge the personality by reading such information that has been filled by a student. So we should trust universities if we really do not know someone to stay with him/her in that place.
Basically, it is a patience able relationship in which we can say that we have a silent contract with our roommates. If you find a good roommate, the world would become a more beautiful place than before it was. As we are living far from our families and most of the time we have to communicate with our roommates when we are in stress or difficulty. We cannot bother our families by discussing our problems because they cannot do anything as they are so faraway. They will be worry so better do not discuss the matters with the families as they have already prepared us for future challenges and also; at the beginning we find the matters are so big but when we dissolve the issues and we feel that they were nothing.
According to me, I believe that if we are good then everyone is good. If we have patience and confidence then we can make a bad roommate to good roommate. How many times he will behave badly, at last he himself will feel sorry. For example, when I started my job and I have to stay in a hostel with other girls and during my studies I even did not stay anywhere except at my home and this was my first experience. At the beginning the lady was behaving too bad with me but I did not say anything as I know I have my own track and I cannot forget it. She was too terrible and no one wants to stay with her just only because of her awful character but I took this challenge because I am confident and for me impossible is nothing because impossible itself says I am possible. Now still I am living with this lady and she is too nice with me and everyone. She has been totally changed.
To sum up, I would like to say that no one is bad, no one has bad quality just look at you what actually you are and you have. If you are good then you will find everyone good around you. If you have good qualities that your parents have transferred in you, these are the virtues and respect them and use those qualities to change the bad people into good. You will feel a real happiness and then a beautiful world will not be so far from you.
I am so sorry Kittos I thin kI have changed the track… Actually I can write the qualities but I don not know why I did not write the qualities of a good roommate as I am thinking in different way…Hope you will not mind…
Thanks and Regards,

Hello little Pink Lady. :-)) I thought you wrote quite well, and quite a lot. It matters not if you leave the track of your composition. You are merely practicing here. Let your mind wander, and write freely. You are a good intelligent writer. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
I look forward to reading more of your “wanderings.”

Hi,
As far as I am concerned, I am in strong agreement with the proposal that selecting a room-mate is an important decision in one’s life. It is not as easy A DECISION TO MAKE as it looks simple. Everyone one has to go through this stage in his/ her life. A room-mate is a person who always reflects in your personality. So because of this we must be conscious and careful in choosing a room-mate. Sometimes we get a chance to find out our friends as a room-mate(,) but most of the time when we are in a foreign country for a job or studies(,) and we do not even know the culture/customs of that country, then the question arises how do we find a good person as our room-mate? I will try my level best to summarize the main points regarding this topic.
Sometimes university itself choose a room-mate for us because they have better idea about selecting a person as a room-mate due to A number of reasons. Firstly, they know our field of education, our hobbies and our aims because they have given us a form to fill WITH all THIS information(.) They have A good psychologist(,) and they can judge the personality by reading such information that has been ENTERED by THE student. So we should trust universities if we really do not know someone WELL ENOUGH to stay with him/her in that place.
Basically, it is a PATIENT able relationship in which we can say that we have a silent contract with our room-mates. If you find a good room-mate, the world would become a more beautiful place than it was before . As we are living far from our families(,) THEN most of the time we have to communicate with our room-mates whenEVER we are in stress or difficulty. We cannot bother our families by discussing our problems because they cannot do anything as they are so far away. They will be worrIED so IT IS better THAT WE do not discuss the matters with the families as they have already prepared us for future challenges(.) IN the beginning we find the matters are so big(,) but when we RESOLVE the issues we feel that they were REALLY TRIVIAL.
According to me, I believe that if we are good then everyone is good. If we have patience and confidence then we can TURN a bad room mate INto good room-mate. Many times he will behave badly, BUT IN THE END he himself will feel sorry.
For example, when I started my job I HAD to stay in a hostel with other girls(,) and during my studies I even did not stay anywhere except at my home and this was my first experience.

Now I am still living with this lady and she is too nice with me and everyone. She has been totally changed.
To sum up, I would like to say that no one is bad, no one has A bad quality just look at youRSELF(.) What you are and WHAT you have TO OFFER. If you are good then you will find everyone good around you. If you have good qualities that your parents have transferred in you, these are the virtues and respect them and use those qualities to change the bad people into good. You will feel a real happiness and then a beautiful world will not be so far from you.
Well, it was long, but it was nice.
