Kamel Smida-Crispin from Belgium When I used to live in my parents house, I never had any problems of privacy because freedom and trust always played a big role in my family. In our house I had the top floor just for me. Living up there allowed me to have my own secret garden, and the stairs discouraged my mother from coming upstairs. My siblings respected my privacy, and they never used to snoop into my stuff. Now things have changed, but it does not bother me, because I know they can control their curiosity. For my living arrangements now, I first chose a dormitory option, but I fast changed my mind and took an apartment with a roommate. We are both in morning classes, and for someone like me who is used to having a lot of privacy, it is a little disturbing, not because my roommate snoops in my stuff, but just because we are always at home at the same time. However, we try to have some separate activities to help us maintain our relationship for the best.
