through classes, organizations, or social settings.

Healthy Roommate Relationship
Make an effort to spend time getting to know your roommate. Fill out a roommate contract together so you both have a clear
understanding of each other’s expectations. If you experience problems, approach your Resident Advisor and set up a meeting
to review these expectations.

Maintain Family Relationships
Family relationships are one of the strongest sources of support for students throughout their college experience. In addition
to contacting your family members on a regular basis, plan an occasional trip home and invite your family to visit you at
BGSU.

|
Resist Peer Pressure
Students can occasionally find themselves in situations where they feel compelled to act or behave in a certain ways in order
to feel accepted. Form friendships with students whom you feel comfortable with in place of those who have different expectations
of how you should act. Maintain confidence in your individual choices and values. Visit the Wellness Connection for additional
resources.

Openness to Others

backgrounds, and experiences. Students who interact respectfully with a variety of people experience enrichment in their learning
and development. Challenge yourself to meet new people and take advantage of new and unfamiliar experiences.
