[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This needs to be up to him.  He's not in danger, just inconvenienced.  He could take a nap during the day and then stay up later.  That may not be his preference, but it's part of group living.  And if he really doesn't like it, he can go talk to the RA or housing.  Housing may be less resistant if he finds someone willing to switch with him so they don't have to do anything but reassign the room cards.

He could also find a friend who will let him crash on their floor or couch.  Truthfully, this is how most college kids would solve it.  [/quote]

OP here—the sleep schedule is an issue too. DC is on a totally different sleep schedule than them; DC gets up and leaves around 7am each day. DC has
overheard the other kids say they’re annoyed by that and the alarm. There days when DC will walk into the room in the middle of the day and the rest of the kids in the suite are sleeping. Messy situation all around. I don’t really consider sharing a room (not just an apartment/suite) with a stranger to be “part of life.” [/quote]

Really? You don't think that the actual real life situation your kid is in is part of life? I Had roommates on and off till about 26. Your kid sounds like a baby.[/quote]

You shared a [i]room[/i], not just an apartment, until you were 26?[/quote]

On and off yes. Whether with friends or lovers. Life is expensive in big cities when earning a low salary right out of school. 
Will you buy your child a SFH or something? If your solution is to fix all their problems, just buy them their own home now. [/quote]

It’s normal to share an apartment, but not to share an actual room. Most adults with roommates each have private rooms with a shared kitchen. [/quote]
