No — I’m not referring to the cheesy 80s hit, though it is a guilty pleasure of mine. I’m talking about the awkward moment when you walk into your dorm room and see your roommate with their significant other doing things you’d rather not see.
If there is an excess of a girlfriend or boyfriend in your room, you should take the initiative to talk to your roommate about it. It’s your room too. A simple solution is to create a roommate contract ad stick to it. In many dorms, you can download an agreement from the Residence Life website and turn it into your student or resident advisor, so he or she can referee any disagreements. Or, just have your roommate alert you when your room is occupied and do work elsewhere, like in a lounge or the library.
If you’re the one with a significant other, try not to make your roommate uncomfortable. As for your suitemates, make sure they are both okay with letting a stranger in the bathroom. If not, respect their wishes and just make sure your significant other uses a public bathroom instead.
