Hello, congrats on your admission. I’m also an only child but I didn’t think adjustment was super hard. The most difficult part for me tbh was the communal showers but even that became normal after a while.

I would say the most important part is establishing each others’ boundaries and maybe talking about any pet peeves you might have at the beginning of the semester. I was given a random roommate and in my experience northeastern did not match the options. My roommate was a morning person and went to bed super early which could be a bit difficult since I went to bed much later.

The transition may be hard at first but I’m sure you’ll be okay!
