Living in a shared room is a very different living experience contrary to having the privacy of

your own room.

Many students become close friends with their sharing partner and it can be an excellent way for ensuring
a companion from the start of your visit. However, it also requires some compromising and compliance.
The following rules will help you and we ask every student who is sharing to abide by them.
- There must be absolute respect for your room-mate and their possessions.

- It is advisable to agree a clear and fair division of space within the room and to keep to it.
- You need to show respect for the other persons lifestyle and beliefs e.g. sexual orientation, religious
behavior, even if it differs from your own.
- Daily routines and sleep patterns differ. Please liaise with your room-mate about potential disturbances to
each other, e.g. guests and returning to your room late at night.

ROOM SHARING GUIDELINES
1 2014, Laureate Education, Inc. | Confidential & Proprietary
- Overnight guests are not allowed in any rooms. In shared rooms please expect to keep any guests and
noise to a minimum at all times.
- Communication is vital for a healthy mutual atmosphere. You need to make the necessary efforts not to
impede your neighbors space.
- For your comfort and your neighbors it is important to act in a decent manner at all times. Therefore,
you should remain decent in your attire and how you behave with your guests. Any behavior that would
make your neighbor feel uncomfortable is unacceptable.

- A degree of cleanliness and tidiness should always be maintained.
- Any problems should be discussed with your room-mate in the first instance. If you cannot resolve a
difficulty, you may notify the event coordinators:
-We appreciate your consideration and thank you in advance for abiding to these coexistence
norms. But if a sharer fails to act reasonably (and this includes failing to follow the guidelines
above) disciplinary action will be taken.
