<p>Do you want to be a snitch? I’m sorry, but unless she’s over the top drunk, she’s probably going to be fine. Read the first post. </p>
<p>It’s extreme to call someone a snitch, implying an something’s wrong with OP. And not too mature to just say, hey, so she gets throw-up drunk, “she’ll be fine.” </p>
<p>OP doesn’t want to deal with this and shouldn’t have to. She isn’t her roomie’s keeper. It would be just as easy to tell the roommate she shouldn’t be an immature pita.</p>
<p>I worked for a school with a strict no-drinking-policy and there were plenty of steps between informing an RA and someone getting into massive trouble. Use your RA. If the problem continues and the RA is no help, have a short sit-down with the housing rep for your dorm. Good luck.</p>
<p>Do what you feel you need to do, but keep in mind something like a room change might not happen overnight. If you choose to take it to the RA and your roommate faces consequences it could make for a very uncomfortable living situation. Does your school have any kind of substance free housing or something similar you could look into for future semesters?</p>
<p>One of my roommates did the same thing during welcome week. Me and my other roommate just talked to her and she toned it down enough to where we didn’t need to go to the RA.</p>
<p>As others have said, talk to her about it before throwing her under the bus. If you go straight to the RA, they could either be lenient and just give her a warning, or she could get in serious trouble. It’s better not to risk losing her trust by getting her in serious trouble when you haven’t discussed it with her yet. That said, if you talk to her and she keeps it up I would go to the RA and explain the situation.</p>
<p>I’m not condoning her telling the RA, but since it’s only been a couple of days, doing RIGHT NOW seems extreme. However, as I said, if it begins to become a problem and you’re not compatible, I can see where going to the RA would be a good thing.</p>
