[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A roommate who stayed up all night playing games loudly on his computer. My kid is a night owl but this was too much even for him. The RA and housing office did nothing. Things improved a bit spring quarter but overall really stressful.[/quote]

That should be on a form for assigning roommates---the habits (night owl, clean or messy---and def. video games, game stations, etc.)

I was soooooooooooooooooooooo thankful my kid's roommate also did not bring a play station or TV and also has good study habits, similar type of schedule--sports/health, consideration, etc[/quote]

They don’t report it on the form or don’t know how they’ll actually behave living away from home for the first time. No video games, but my DC had the same issue with a roommate. A couple months in she’d flipped her sleep schedule, wanted to sleep all day  and come and go from her desk all night. Was also an only child, didn’t know how accommodate roommates, at all.[/quote]
