About The Roommate Resource Service

Roommate conflicts are incredibly complicated to manage, and a stressor for both students and their parents. They impact all levels of staff from the resident assistant to the chief housing officer and beyond.

In line with the goals of Reslife.Net, that involve providing on-line solutions to the problems that housing administrators face, the development of The Roommate Resource package responds to the complicated management issues that surround roommate relationships.

The service components can be used proactively or reactively, depending on need and plans for how the individual university will work with the service.
