Hi,
So recently I’ve decided to do a room change because I’ve noticed several things about my roommate: 1) She doesn’t know any hygiene whatsoever 2) she always goes to sleep late and never turns off the light 3) the room constantly smells like takeout and pizza 4) she’s always in the room so I never any time alone by myself. I’ve talked to her about trying to at least compromise some of the issues but she always ignores me. But my main problem is her parents are kind of like helicopter parents where they immediately go to their child if she were in some kind of danger so I’m just worried that her parents would give me a hard time about me moving out. So my question is should I just move out and deal with the problems when they come or should I just tough it out? Thank you 
How many weeks do you have remaining with her?
I mean it’s my second semester but there’s an open room change going on in my reslife so I figured I would think about it.
Why would you owe anyone ANY explanations.
You tried talking to her. I’ assuming you didn’t talk to the RA?
She aint budging, or listening, so if it doesn’t hurt anyone, move.
LOL I talked to my RA but all he said was to talk to reslife
I had roommate issues my 1st semester of college. We were required to talk it out with our RA and our RC. If it wasn’t resolved after 2-3 meetings we could request to move out. I would honestly talk to your residence life head and ask them what they think. Personally, since its already about 1/2 way through the semester, I would try to stick it out. If its seriously impacting you though tell them you want to move to an open room. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. You have to do what is best for yourself.
Do whatever is in your own best interest. If there is a better rooming situation available and you feel it is worth the hassle of moving then do it. If there are no markedly better options then stick it out for the next 6-8 weeks and make different rooming arrangements for next year. It sounds like you have tried to talk things out with the roommate so you don’t owe anyone (your roommate, the parents etc.) any exploitation if you choose to move.
You’ve already stuck it out. Go ahead and move before any more of your life is leeched. Good luck!
