[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's weird. Nobody in their right mind would sleep in a room with somebody that never talks to them or has any social interaction.

All the PP's who are like, what is the problem, would literally lose their minds if they were forced to share a room with someone who doesn't give them the time of day.

Just ask for a change in roommates for Spring 2023 or if that is too late just let your child know that if f'ing weird.[/quote]

I think it's an exaggeration to believe that the roommate "never talks to them" at ALL. OP seems to have hoped that the roommate would become her DC's friend and a social outlet for the DC at college. That is not the same as saying "My DC's roommate never speaks a word to DC" or "doesn't give DC the time of day" as you're characterizing it. It would indeed be weird if a roommate acted as if you were invisible but OP does not say that's the case. The roommate just does not need to be friends with the DC because roomie is too busy. The DC needs to be busy, too, joining and participating and generally building a social life outside the dorm room.[/quote]
