Living and learning together.

“Living with students from different backgrounds can actually change behavior” .

Before coming to Taiwan, I remember one of the hardest decisions for me as it pertains to living arrangements was deciding whether I wanted to live in a room of 4 people or two, and I remember asking if it was possible to live alone, and was told no. As I look back, I remember being a bit scared to share a room with someone I didn’t know and also not have an idea as to what to expect. Coming from having my own room and enjoying my own space to having to share it with someone, seemed like something I wasn’t sure I would have enjoyed. Although we both came from the same country, the first few weeks were hard.

In the chapter the author highlights interviews with students who expressed the exact same reaction like I did, as it pertains to living with other people. As much as my roommate and I encountered some difficulties living together, for instance her inability to differentiate between what being quiet and loud was while someone else was sleeping etc,our relationship grew stronger and we were both able to learn new things from one another.

In my opinion, I believe here in Taiwan, the dorm living arrangements, gives students an opportunity to not only come out of their comfort zone and have a cheaper way of living, but it also gives students an opportunity to foster friendships and learn something from the people they are living with, those same people can become lifelong friends, and honestly, my past roommate has become that to me.

While the other people I encountered in my dorm I didn’t share a room with, however, we all considered ourselves as one big family, people from countries like Dominican Republic, Sao Tome, Burkina Faso just to name a few I was able to learn something from all of them. Yes, in every “family” everything doesn’t always run smoothly, but despite those simple issues, our roommates became teachers and we became students, in some cases vice versa. They also became caretakers when we were sick or going through rough moments, guardians etc. The same people we were afraid to live with are the same ones, most of us who have experienced or are experiencing “dorm life” or roommates have become to us right now.

Thus, I’d say to any international student, while the thought of living with a complete stranger scares us, the saying “we never know unless we try” can be applied here, and while it may not be for everyone, it is honestly an eye opening experience. What have you learned from living with people from a different culture & how has it changed you?
