[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where's the RA during all of this?

All of my college kids have said thing same thing: loud parties in dorms never last more than 10 minutes before being busted by the RA. [/quote]

Eh. I went to a school where the RAs weren’t like that. Some of them would drink and do drugs with their freshman.

Op, try to talk to housing. I had terrible housing the first two years of sleeping. First year I had to live with smokers (pot and cigarettes) and I have asthma. The school did nothing despite me complaining about the illegal drug use. I would frequently go sleep in the infirmary. It was quiet and smoke free. Of course, during covid, that may not be an option not a good idea.

Second year I lived next to a guy who blared his music even in the middle of the night. It sucked. I could not sleep.

This really affected my sleep, health, and ability to enjoy myself. It was awful.

I think he should try to switch rooms with housing. I think you should consider calling as well.

If that doesn’t work, maybe he could try to find a place to rent off campus with other students. Maybe a group that had a roommate leave for study abroad. That way he’s still part of campus life.

For next year, see if he can live in a dorm that is designated as a quiet hall or quiet dorm.
