A solution for every roommate problem July 12, 2008
Susan Fee's background as a counselor and conflict negotiator is put to good use here with sound solutions for every roommate problem imaginable. Whether your roommate is gossipy, controlling, depressed, or anorexic - to name just a few - there are suggestions, tips, and even specific dialogue for use in dealing with each problem. Having this book on hand, when a crisis rears its ugly head, is not a bad idea. (You could keep it under your mattress for quick access if things get heated.)
The author writes in youth-friendly language, and keeps it simple. She has obviously been a college roommate, and must have been taking mental notes from day one, since the book is so very thorough.
Susan Fee has done a commendible job advising prospective rooommates on one of the most important segments of college life. In fact,these communication and negotiation skills will come in handy when dealing with people long after your college days are over. 50 Ways to Leave Your Mother
A must-read before you go off to college October 6, 2006
Susan Fee has a wonderful way of making important information relevant and understandable. She offers examples, tips, and explanations that use common sense and have real-life application. There will be more than enough challenges awaiting the college freshman--be prepared for the one that will share your room!
Here's the book I wish I had in college.... September 13, 2006
College prepared me for many things, but I certainly wasn't prepared for college. MY ROOMMATE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! is a book I wish I had around when I went to college. With humor and wisdom, Susan Fee explains everything incoming first-year college students (as well as upperclass students) need to know about living with roommates. From communication issues to sexuality, from financial concerns to campus life, MY ROOMMATE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY is a book that no student should leave home for college without.
As a counselor and life coach, I often work with young adults. Whenever they are bound for college, I always recommend this book!
 Good ideas for open communication August 26, 2005
I got this book for my daughter who is going far away to college for the first time. She has never met her roommate and I wanted both of them to have a good experience. My daughter and I both read the book and thought it gave some great ideas for keeping the lines of communication open in a friendly way...on about every topic there is. It's a great book and I'd highly recommend it.
