3. Having roommate issues around: privacy, division of responsibilities, 
noise, money? Mediation at MIT can help.

Mediation at MIT offers:

    * Confidential* mediation services by trained, neutral, MIT Mediators

    * Conflict coaching – we’ll help you sort out how to have those
      difficult conversations

Why use Mediation at MIT?

      one gets in trouble.

    * Mediation is convenient – we find a time that works for all and a
      place that is convenient for all.
    * Mediation works! In 70-80% of cases, people reach some resolution
      through mediation.
