[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]

You are assuming a lot. All I see in OP's post is that the roommate has a busy life and rarely spends time in their room other to sleep. Yes, that might be disappointing if OP's kid is having trouble making other friends and was hoping they would bond with roommate, but it is not roommates responsibility to be a friend. Maybe they are heavily involved with a sport or activity that OP's child does not share.

I hope OP gave their child realistic expectations about what it is like to share a room with a stranger. A small percentage become lifelong friends. Many become friends or friendly acquaintances. Some have a lot of conflict. And some don't have conflict, but also don't really become friends. That is fine.[/quote]
