RESPECT THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY
Approximately 3,600 students, with different lifestyles and sched-
ules, live on campus. Learning to balance personal needs with
the needs of others is an outcome we hope all of our on-campus
students experience. A part of living in a community is under-
standing the guidelines designed to support each member’s
success. Prior to moving in, read more about our visitation, quiet

One of the ways that Tarleton helps residents maintain a
positive relationship with roommates is by providing a Roommate
Agreement. These arrangements help roommates calmly and
effectively communicate expectations.
Residential Leaders are available if a compromise is
unforeseeable or if roommates would like to seek advice from a
leader who has previously shared a residence hall room.
The roommate agreement tool has proven successful because it
encourages communication. The document encourages residents
to establish a set of expectations for each other early in the
semester.
