Roomate Issues

I went random roomate and got placed in a triple. My roommates are friends, so I’m just a random person that got thrown in the room. We have two room, a bedroom and a living room.

They’ve been hostile towards me since the beginning, but it just keeps getting worse.

I have all 7:30 classes, and their classes aren’t until 2 or 3. They go out and party 3-4 nights a week and are super loud when they come back. But on the nights that they aren’t drunk, they have full on conversations at 3am, which wakes me up. Because they’re noisy, I bought earplugs to help block out the noise, but they don’t even attempt to whisper, so earplugs and headphones don’t even help. Like sometimes, they’re being extemely loud and shouting.

I confronted them and said that I try to respect their sleep time in the morning when I get up, so I expected them to do the same while I’m trying to sleep. That helped for around 2 weeks, but they started doing the same thing again.

So this time, I sent them a message saying that they had woken me up from talking in the room the past few nights, and I would really like to get some sleep, so I would appreciate it if they respected my sleep time. The NIGHT of the day that I sent that message, they did the same thing. At 3am, they were laughing and talking enough to the point that it woke me up. So I told them I was trying to sleep, and since we have two rooms, asked if they would go to the living room to talk. They just proceeded to laugh and keep talking.

I plan on talking to my RA, but they clearly don’t respect me. What can I do to assure I can get some sleep?

Thanks

Talking to your RA is the right first step. I would also contact ResLife and ask about the possibility of switching rooms next semester.

Your dorm will have quiet hours. It is good you have talked to them. Go now to your RA and tell them what you told us.
They will probably have you come up with a roommate agreement. Stick to it. If they don’t, contact the RA immediately.

I think that’s one of the problems too…they don’t follow the quiet hour rules of the dorm or the rules we set in the roommate agreement. I’ll talk to my RA about that.
