<p>Well late to this one, but just got back into town and to my beloved laptop...lol! </p>
<p>My d has done roomie h*ll, so my advice is to deal with any issues now, not later. A bad gut instinct shouldn't be ignored...and roshke's 'prevention' advice is spot on. My d's situation became so unbearable, her grades were adversely affected by the stress and her inability to 'live' in her own room. When she called me during finals week, on the verge of tears, as she was walking from dorm to dorm checking out available empty rooms, I just about lost it. I was so angry at the nutjob roommate, housing and the school in general for sticking my kid with this person. My d worked it out beautifully on her own, but finding ultimate resolution to a bad situation during finals week is not what you want to do. Fix what needs to be fixed now.</p>
<p>And I have to say....the conjecture I've seen in some of these responses to the OP has set new CC records. Sheesh.</p>
<p>(Btw....the mom 'attempting' to call the OP's daughter's cell phone bugs me too. What is up with that? Just a little too familiar for day two imho.)</p>
