[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son should ask and if the roommate says no your son should try to book a private room in a library.[/quote] +1 But make it a gentle ask, e.g., "I have tutoring at x time and find it hard to focus if I'm not on my own. Any way I could have the room to myself at this day/time? If not, I can probably work something out at the library." Asking each other for private time in the room is not that unusual (my kid is an RA and they advise roommates and having designated times you leave the room is pretty normal to establish).[/quote] Exactly. I don't get why folks think this is such a big thing. Sounds like the kid never gets alone time in the room. This seems like a reasonable request. [/quote] It's a shared dorm room, there should be no expecation of "alone time." Many colleges have dorms with single rooms. OP's kid could have done that. [/quote]
