来欧洲留学的国际学生越来越多，在新的国度，你的室友极可能就是你的第一个朋友，而他们很可能并非来自你的国家。那么有一个问题不可避免：作为一个新生，在宿舍里如何与来自其他国家的同学相处呢？
这里有一些能够帮到你的小建议。
Work on your expectations
做好准备
If your dorming or living on campus in college provided accommodations, the college or dorm authorities will inform you about the details of your roommate or flatmate. Use this information to form an idea about what to expect from your roommate.Be sure to research a little about the culture, customs and behavioral norms of the country your roommate is from, so you know his/her background. This will help you understand them better.If you have never lived on your own, learn how to cook and clean before you leave for the college. It is not fair to assume your roommate will do your chores for you.
如果你的学校提供住宿，那么宿舍管理处会详尽地告知你室友的情况。你可以利用这些信息对你的室友形成一个基本的印象。请确保对他的国家文化、习俗、行为方式稍稍做一点研究，这样你就能对他的背景更加了解。这将帮助你更好地理解你的室友。如果你从未独自生活过，那么在离开家去上学之前学习一下如何做饭、如何打扫房间等。不要期待你的室友为你做这些杂务。
Getting along
友善相处
Depending on the disposition of your roommate, during the initial few days the conversations may or may not flow easily. Give some days for things to settle down and the flow of communication will be balanced out.Sample cuisine from your roommate’s native country. Go to a restaurant or cook together his native foods. Ask your roommate to tell you what they know about cuisine in their native country in general.Explore the city together. Your roommate will probably be your first friend in the country, so you need to know the nearest grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, hospitals and clinics etc.Try learning basic words in his/her native language. Along with that, consider being a part of their celebrations of national or religious days.
根据你室友的性格，你们相处最初几天的对话可能会顺利也可能会尴尬。留出一些时间，让一切安定下来，你们的沟通就会达到一个平衡点。品尝室友国家的美食。一起去餐馆或者烹饪他家乡的食物。让你的室友告诉你关于他的国家有什么特别的菜。一起探索城市。你的室友很可能是你在这个国家的第一个朋友，所以你需要知道最近的杂货铺、加油站、餐馆、医院、诊所，等等。试着学习他的语言中的一些基础词汇。与此同时，尝试和他一起庆祝他的传统节日。
Sharing
分摊财务与家务
You should contribute financially to shared household or grocery items such as soap, milk, eggs, food bills etc. Also, if you have to purchase furniture, dishes, or appliances, both of you should contribute equally. No matter what culture your roommate belongs to, there are some things which are universally appreciated like cleanliness, respecting privacy of others and being responsible.Divide the responsibilities equally. Decide who will cook, do the dishes, clean, throw out the trash etc. It is best to divide these jobs right in the beginning to avoid complications later.
你应该分摊日常生活的费用，比如说房租、日用品（肥皂、牛奶、鸡蛋等食物）。同样，如果你们一起购买家具、厨具或是家电，你们也应该一起分担费用。无论你的室友来自于哪个国家，有一些标准是全球通用的，例如整洁、尊重隐私、有责任心。平均分配所有的责任。决定谁来做饭、洗碗、打扫卫生、扔垃圾等。最好在一开始就定下这些工作划分，以防之后情况变得复杂。
