How to Communicate With Your College Roommate As some of our readers prepare for college, we thought we'd bring to your attention some advice about living with college roommates. Daniel E. Slotnik has asked two experts - Joel Haber, a clinical psychologist and author of "Bullyproof Your Child for Life" and Harlan Cohen, author of "The Naked Roommate," to comment on what students should do when roommate problems begin to surface. A preview of the column, which will appear in the Education Life supplement in Sunday's newspaper, is now available online. Here is an excerpt from Mr. Cohen: It's so important to transition students to campus in a way that helps them feel they're never alone. One of the most important things a student can do is have five people in their corner, like a boxer has people in his corner, before they go away to school - people like a counselor, residence-life staff member, spiritual leader, relative, close friend, or other individual to turn to should any problems arise. It's when students feel alone that they can become desperate. Although we are not posting as frequently this summer, we'd like to continue this discussion about college roommates with readers of The Choice.
