My Dream Room Project
Roommate Roulette Project
Name: ____________________ Roommate: ___________________
Congratulations! It is time to move out on your own! For this project you will act as if you are on your own, living in a dorm or renting a place to live, with a roommate. If you are living in dorm room your roommate will be drawn for you, as the Housing and Residential Life at the University would do. If you choose to pursue a career you will draw for your monthly rental allowance and you may choose your roommate based on the “roommates” available. You will also be drawing a conflict scenario that you must solve using the steps of conflict resolution.
Living away from home is the first step in the launching phase of the family life cycle, and one where lots of emotions come into play. You will experience stress, hope, and independence. But, remember, living away from home can be frustrating and difficult.
See the rubric below for the required elements of the project. Remember that you MUST turn this sheet in with your project to receive a grade.

The Parts:
A. Dorm/Rental Info
Students will be given the choice to go to College or start a Career. Once students choose their option they will be placed into their Dorm Room or choose their Apartment Roommate.
College:
You will be given a packet based on a school and freshman dorm information and layout. You will roll to see how much money they made at their summer job to spend on items you will need to outfit your room.
Amount Allotted: _______________________
Career:
Use a computer to search for housing options. The amount that you are allotted for monthly rent will be determined by your roll of the die. Don’t forget that you and your roommate are sharing the responsibilities, so you should discuss who is going to pay for what and for how much.
Amount Allotted: _______________________
For example: If John has $400.00 for rent each month, and Steven has $560.00, Steven could logically take the larger room if there is one and would therefore be expected to pay a larger portion of the rent.
When you find your apartment/house/townhouse, please print a description of the home, including costs, description, floor plan, and a picture if it’s available. You may also tear out pages from an apartment guide or real estate booklet. These can be found at the grocery store. Write down who will be paying what part of the rent and turn in with your names on it.
B. House Rules
Once you have decided on your home, come up with at least 10 house rules. The rules should not include chores, because there is a separate section for that. List the rules on the attached sheet Part B: House Rules.
C. Cleaning & Chores
Brainstorm a list of chores and then create a cleaning schedule for you and your roommate. Keep in mind that chores should be distributed equally, and there should be a variety of chores. Be sure to include chores that are done daily, weekly, and occasionally.
D. Conflict Resolution
Use the index in the book to find and review the conflict resolution process. Use the conflict that you drew out of the envelope and the attached sheet to solve the conflict together as roommates. Moving out is not an option! You have signed a lease, and you are stuck with each other! Work it out!
E. Budget
Using an Excel Spreadsheet already set up for you, you need to calculate how much you spend on your items for your dorm/apartment. Use the shopping list to make sure you have all the necessities for your dorm, before you buy “fun” items!
F. Room 2-D Rendering
Using the black and white room you were given, you are to create a 2-D sketch of your room layout. You must stick to your dorm/apartment layout. If you are living in a dorm you need to draw the furniture that will come in your dorm (see your university packet) If you are living in an apartment you need to look at the furniture you are purchasing. Once your sketch is complete, you need to color it and make final decisions based on Part G: Elements & Principals of Design.
G. Elements & Principals of Design
Fill out the Part G: Implementing the Elements & Principles of Design as you design your room. Create a focal point, identify your color scheme, emotional feeling associated by the room, and the accessories.
H. Design Board
Provide a pictorial view of your room. Complete a floor plan and showcase your design skills! See Part H: Design Board for all of the Project information.
