Exactly this. You won’t be the only person making this request and it’s probably easier for everyone if they just pair your kid up with another vaxxed student from the beginning.

I do think this brings a different level to conversations about personal health info.

What is the risk to your child? How is it different knowing this information?

How is measles or chickenpox analogous to covid 19? I don't know single person dead or permanently maimed from measles or chickenpox but i know of many families personally that have suffered greatly from covid 19.

You know families whose vaccinated 19 year old has suffered great from COVID? COVID wasn’t particularly dangerous for college age kids; it’s certainly not that dangerous for vaccinated college age kids. Well, according to science anyway, and we always believe in science right?

I know one who lost his dad and his mom has permanent damage. Quick and brutal it was too. So yes - great suffering. And a kid that infects a parent or grandparent who that then dies...even worse suffering.

Not the PP, but both I and my kid heading off to college in a week are vaccinated and this is 100% correct. The fear mongering on this is unbelievable. I think people are honestly addicted to COVID panic.

If it ok for the unvaxxed to fear the vax and act accordingly than it is ok for the vaxxed to fear the virus and act accordingly.

Why would an unvaccinated student want to room with your miracle of modern medicines science kid?

The CDC and WHO recommends that unvaxxed people wear masks while indoors. If the unvaxxed roommate wants to wear a mask inside 24/7 when they have a vaxxed roommate, then that's cool. Am guessing, however, that most unvaxxed kids will not want to do that and the onus for wearing a mask should fall on the individual who chose not to take precautions. Understand the limits for those with medical reasons. Also think folks who do not get vaxxed due to religion should also follow the masking guidelines.

LOL - know stats well enough to know about low probability, high risk. Odds are low to contract, but the consequences of doing so, even ending up as an asymptomatic carrier, are tragic.

Is the roommate an alcoholic, drug user, practice unsafe sex in room every weekend? I can think of so many things to worry about - COVID is one but not higher than anything else listed. Drugs and misuse of alcohol or date rape are bigger issues IMO.

If they school does not require vax, DC does not have to go.

True but just room vaxxed with vaxxed and unvaxxed with unvaxxed. Basic compatibility issue.

If your kids isn't using or raping, why is it an issue if their roommate is?

If you kid is housed with an addict or a rapist or a smoker or some other incompatible behavior or attitude, request a switch. For some that might mean the want a vaccinated or an unvaccinated roomie so request that. Problem solved.
