Thinking About roommates for next year? Â Consider the many benefits of rooming with someone with a different cultural perspective:
• Expand your understanding of people with different ways of seeing the world.
• Sharpen your communication skills.
• Grow in your skills in being more culturally sensitive.
• Be more prepared to live and work in our global society.
• By exposing yourself to people from other cultural perspectives, you better understand your own culture.
• You have something to share and that others need.  Remember, expressing your perspective is as important as learning other’s perspectives.
• Consider how God might use you or speak to you through a roommate from a different cultural perspective.
• Develop a relationship with someone outside your comfort zone.  This relationship could be life long.
