[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The RA is paid to handle this crap. Your DD needs to talk to the RA today and tell her the next time the roommate wakes her up, she gets the RA involved. Repeat. And ask for a room change.[/quote]

[b]RA's are not paid.  They might get free room,[/b] but there is plenty of competition for the RA slots, because social kids want the job.

Agree it is an RA question, OP - but the RA is not a parent, any more than your kid is your kid's roomate's parent.

Your kid needs to lay down the law - this room mate needs professional help - there is something going on beyond any other student's (including the RA's) ability.

Did your DC pick this room mate??[/quote]

Try again. You can’t be this obtuse. Getting a pass on room feed IS GETTING PAID. That’s real money. [/quote]

They are still just college kids a$$hole.  Probably just a year or two older than your kid.  So, no this really isn't the RA's "job".  [/quote]

Other PP here.  WTH kind of job do you think RA is?? Are you the parent who *tries* to contact the profs?  LMAO.[/quote]

You really overestimate what RA's do.  Do you even have kids in college? They let kids in who are locked out.  They escalate issues to housing.  They're not going to hold your snowflake's hand every time there is a slight issue.  So, no that really isn't their job to mediate.  Some schools don't even have an RA in every building.  Can't run to them for every disagreement.  [/quote]
