Don't get along with your flatmates?

Take time to get to know your flatmates

Arguments sometimes arise over seemingly small things like housework or noise

They can usually be sorted out quite easily but if they seem to be getting out of hand, here are a few tips:

  • talk to your flatmates - they may not even realise you're upset
  • work out what the problem is - you may find you're arguing about different things
  • try not to lose your temper
  • be open to compromise
  • arrange a meal for the whole flat so you can get to know each other better
  • If you can't resolve the problem then talk to your hall manager who will help you.
