<p>my daughter is a freshman this year and is a pretty staid individual, and doesn’t want to do the party scene
situation is: her roomate has alcohol in the room and my daughter doesn’t want to cause waves but also doesn’t want to risk dismissal if it is found by someone
how likely is that to happen?
My daughter hasn’t said anything to the roomate yet.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>If she asks her roommate to keep the alcohol in her closet and out of sight (or get separate refrigerators and if it’s beer keep it in her own refrigerator), your d is probably going to be fine, assuming that she’s not around when her roommate decides to party. The RA will come to know who on the floor are the frequent party-ers (not tough to figure out at 3:00 a.m. in the morning). There’s a lot to do on campus for people who aren’t into the party scene, but sometimes it takes a few more weeks for those people to come out of the woodwork. Neither of my 2 were into the party scene and had a great time in school. When D2 was a freshman, her dorm seemed to be composed entirely of party-ers for the first 5-6 weeks. What she figured out was that many of the people who went home on those first weekends were the ones who didn’t party. She had the benefit of having her sister and her friends to hang out with until she had her own group of friends to go to movies, hang out, etc. with.</p>
<p>Hopefully, your D signed up with groups/clubs that sounded interesting to her at First Look Fair this week. That usually gets the ball rolling for freshmen and people new to campus.</p>
