<p>Tell them that the RA’s are PAID to be there for them in the dorms. That is their JOB! Wake them up, no matter what time of night or the emergency. They are trained on what to do.</p>
<p>My D had a gastrointestinal infection last year, and thank goodness her bf, her best friend and the RA all came to her aid in the middle of the night and she was taken over to the ER by the campus emergency crew and they all sat with her until they got it resolved appropriately.</p>
<p>On an unrelated level: Eat right, sleep right, and DONT binge drink are the best advice to all kids. Though that is hard to drill into the heads of 18 year olds going off on their own for the first time and wanting to “be accepted by dorm mates.”</p>
