This question asks about the importance of having your roommate become a close friend. It is important to think about your expectations so you’re not disappointed if you want to be best friends but your roommate just wants to have a respectful living environment without hanging out together. While some roommates become lifelong friends and like to hang out together, others can be excellent roommates while not becoming close friends. Either way, or somewhere in between, communication is key in all situations!<\/p>\n

Not important <\/em>– while you would like to establish and maintain a respectful environment, you prefer to hang out with other people to provide some space and balance; you do not expect to become close friends but want to be good roommates.<\/li>\n

Somewhat important <\/em>– you are open to developing a good friendship if it happens but do not want it to be forced; you will not be upset if you do not become close friends, but you still want to be good roommates.<\/li>\n

Very important <\/em>– you envision an ideal roommate situation where you become close friends and spend a lot of time together; while you do not want to force a friendship, you would likely be disappointed if one did not develop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Personal bio<\/h3>\n
Your personal bio is an opportunity to share information about yourself and what you’re looking for in your roommate experience. Below are a few suggestions for what you may want to include.<\/p>\n
\n
Brief bio: Where are you from? What is your major? Why did you choose to attend NAU?<\/li>\n
Personality: How would your friends and\/or family describe you?<\/li>\n
Interests, hobbies, and activities: What do you enjoy doing in your free time?<\/li>\n
Entertainment: What types of music do you like? Favorite TV shows and\/or movies? Favorite authors\/books?<\/li>\n
Roommate relationship: What are you hoping for in a roommate? Great friends? Respectful living but have own friend groups? Similar schedules, and if so, what would that look like?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The personal bio is optional. You can leave it blank or you can enter 3\u20135 sentences that can be viewed by others as they browse potential roommates. Your bio can also be viewed when you are matched with a roommate.<\/p>\n
Example: Hi! I’m Lou and I’m from Phoenix, AZ. I’m undecided on my major but possibly going into nursing. I chose NAU because I want to live in beautiful Flagstaff and be close-ish to family. My friends often say I’m quiet at first and great at getting to know others. I’m pretty studious, but in my free time, I enjoy reading fiction, watching TV series, or listening to new music. I want to be good friends with my roommate and be able to talk about any potential differences we have regarding room expectations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n
