College is the first opportunity many kids have had to deal with conflict resolution.
Time to talk to roommate gently to explain:
- it's not ok to wake up or be disruptive from midnight to 7am, unless a fire alarm or emergency
- not ok to disrupt homework either.
 and get earplugs and perhaps a sleep mask.

This is the type of thing I have talked to her about. Unfortunately the roommate (who I do feel badly for as she’s clearly struggling) claims these ARE emergencies. Like “I coughed up blood in  the bathroom do you think I should go to hospital” “yes!” “No, I don’t want to, but I can’t really breath so maybe? ” and on and on. And then the miracle improvement Thursday-Sunday am. [/quote]

If the roommate is asking whether or not she needs to go to the hospital, that is a question she should be directing to her parent. [/quote]

She might have anxiety.

Agree to document dates and stories.

Your daughter needs to be direct and then call in the RA[/quote]

This is way over the RA's head.  I would keep the RA out of it and contact housing, OP.  The RA is another student.  You know that, right?  Some of these parents sound insane, and the colleges are well aware (and well prepared).[/quote]
