Realise that you will need to compromise living with flatmates

• Living with flatmates is a true test of putting the common good above your own interests. No doubt you’ll be faced with many scenarios that you would like to end one way, but you’re flatmates will all be rooting for the other. You’ll need to keep your head at these times and realise that making your flatmates happy may be more important than your individual wishes, particularly if the issue is minor or petty. Common scenarios that require flatmates to compromise include when:
• Someone wants to throw a party but others don’t.
• Someone needs to study but others don’t.
• Someone wants to invest in new furniture or technology, but others don’t.
• Someone wants to eat all together each evening but others don’t.
• Someone wants everyone to join in a group activity or outing but others don’t.
