Renegotiating

Roommate Personal Assessment

By completing the Roommate Personal Assessment (PDF), you and your roommate(s) have started to build and maintain the groundwork for a positive relationship. Now it is time to meet with your roommate(s) and discuss your responses. Use your answers to assist you and your roommate(s) in reaching an effective Roommate Agreement (PDF). Though the content of your Agreement may change throughout the year as you become acclimated to collegiate life at Cal, remember the framework for your discussion. You will be able to address situations when they arise during the year.

Renegotiating

It will not be uncommon for some of your preferences to change while living in the residences. It is also very possible that one or both of the roommates will not live up to the agreement. You may choose to renegotiate your roommate agreement. Be sure to utilize the same tips as in your original negotiations. In addition, try to avoid blame and accusations when you renegotiate your agreement. Please feel free to contact hall staff if you have difficulty renegotiating your agreement.
