Sam

Hometown: South Lyon, MI
Major: Dance and Special Education

Shelly

Hometown: South Lyon, MI
Major: Nursing

A few words from Sam and Shelly...


Sam (left): "My name is Sam, and I’m a double major with dance and special education." 

Shelly (right): "My name’s Shelly, and I’m majoring in nursing." 

Sam: And we’re roommates. Living with a roommate is very fun. It really helps when you want to come back and hangout with someone, or if you’re stuck with homework and you need someone’s help or someone’s opinion on something, it really helps to have someone there for you.

Shelly:  I think it’s important to have a good relationship with your roommate because you need to be able to give each other space and respect each other, but good communication really helps. And being friends is helpful a lot. If you don’t know your roommate, you need to go into the situation with an open opinion and, you know, be the nicest you can be and respect each other, and I think everything will work out good.
