[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine would have been thrilled. Instead, she had the roommate who tried to lock her out of the room when her bf came. Thank your lucky stars OP![/quote]

This, above. OP, it is MUCH worse if a roommate is bringing people back to the room for sex like a friend's freshman roommate did. In fact, sex or no sex, having a roommate who hogs the room all the time is worse than having one who isn't around except to sleep.

I think you had a notion that a roommate would be at least a buddy if not a real friend for your DC, but what did your DC want and expect? Is this DC who is upset, or is it really just you?

I hope your DC is getting out there, joining clubs and organizations, volunteering on campus about something that matters to DC, doing things based on interest and not just on proximity. That is how you make real and lasting friends at college. Not by expecting roommates (even ones you selected who looked perfect for you, on social media etc.) to provide social outlets. [/quote]
