[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are only like two more months of school. I'd tell him to suck it up. I'd get him an Air BnB for three weeks - the two weeks before finals and the week OF finals. [/quote]

Great advice! Agreed. Learning to adapt and to advocate for oneself is a big part of college. Mommy swooping in to rescue is not a good look.[/quote]

NP. I mean what can the kid do besides turn the light off and try to sleep? In my experience RAs don’t have to abide by any confidentiality rules, which sucks if the child would prefer not to have to confront the people they live with. Nobody wants to be labeled a “tattletale.” What is the kid supposed to do, tell their roommates they can’t have friends over? If OP’s kid does move, it may be more of the same if the kid moves to another suite. [/quote]

Not a tattletale. You are paying the same as those kids for your room, and you can't use it for rest which is what you need. Why should they rule the day (especially when what they are doing is literally illegal). [/quote]
