[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]

No one is saying the RA is a therapist who is going to treat a kid with mental illness. But it is the RA’s job to help students work through roommate issues like this and get kids resources they might need. OP’s kid is in a tough situation with her roommate. It’s is definitely the RA’s job to intervene. That IS exactly what the RA is supposed to do. [/quote]

Yes, but other PP is absolutely convinced that the RA does not use earplugs on their off hours. LOL.

The other PP is in for a surprise, once reality hits them, and mommy and daddy are not there - because they have zero grip on reality. Never mind their kid. [/quote]
