<p>My roommate keeps a **** ton of drugs in our room (they’re basically what she runs on) and also lets some of her friends keep some of theirs in here, because they’ve had issues with they own roommates using their stuff or something like that. I’m afraid that one of these days the school’s gonna decide to do an unannounced dorm inspection and all that stuff will be found in our room. Like what if she has the audacity to blame it on me? We’re not BFFs (we hardly see each other) but I know enough of her story to know that she’s paying the full tuition to come here, which is over 40K, and I honestly believe that she has it in her to pin it on me.</p>
<p>that depends…are we talking grass or blow?</p>
<p>I would tell her to get it out of the room if you’re uncomfortable with it. At my U, we have a strict policy that it doesn’t matter whose it is, if it’s in the room and you’re both in the room, you’re both in trouble. </p>
<p>Seriously, it’s not worth it for you to get in trouble. Tell her it’s your room too and you want it out. If she doesn’t then go talk to your RA or something. She’ll probably despise you if she gets in trouble, but it isn’t worth getting kicked out of college for. Good luck!</p>
<p>what would happen if you turn her in? I think you’d be doing her and her friends a favor.</p>
<p>Turn her in. Now. Before you get arrested and possibly expelled. She doesn’t have to “pin it” on you. It is in your room and you know about it. You can lose federal scholarships over a drug offense.</p>
<p>@ Awped: She has practically everything. Weed, cocaine, acid, ecstasy, Vicodin. I don’t know what’s hers and what’s not, but it’s all stashed in our room. It’s not even well-hidden, she keeps it in a drawer. She’s also currently got a bottle of vodka in our fridge.</p>
<p>I don’t even know what the policy of our school is. So far, we’ve only had one room inspection and we were given a week’s notice, but I still don’t know if surprise inspections are a possibility, which is why I’m nervous. I’ve talked to her about this a couple times, and the first time she just said that she doubted they would inspect our rooms without notice, because she thinks that’s illegal for them to do (is this even true?). The second time she said she would try to hide it better, but they’re still in the desk drawer, and this was a week ago.</p>
<p>I want to avoid drama and I don’t wanna be a snitch, but at the same time I’m uneasy. Do any schools out there actually do unannounced inspections?</p>
<p>Forget about telling her to get rid of the stuff—she won’t. Put everything you know in writing and email it the RD. Do this right now. Save a hardcopy of the email as well as the email itself. This is evidence that you reported the drugs and that the drugs are not yours. After sending the email, saving the email, and printing a hardcopy of the email, go directly to the RA. Give the RA a copy of the email that you sent to the RD. You need to do this right now.</p>
<p>dont listen to anyone, just use it all or sell it ■■■■■ problem solved with a happy ending for you</p>
<p>Sooo turn her in. Do NOT risk getting in trouble like that. Did you know if you are charged with possession while receiving federal financial aid, you may be found ineligible for federal financial aid next time you apply? Unless you’re the one to bring it forward to the school, you have no defense if someone wants to pin it on you. Report it, no questions asked. Do not hesitate and do not wait.</p>
<p>I guess you could weigh the pros and cons.</p>
<p>Turn her in: You risk being seen as a snitch.
She’ll never be your BFF</p>
<p>Don’t turn her in:
Spend every day waiting for the unannounced inspection.
Get arrested and charged with possession.
Lose your federal financial aid.
Possibly get expelled.
Figure out how to explain it to your parents.</p>
<p>Oh yeah I forgot about financial aid. One drug conviction and you never get financial aid again. </p>
<p>It’s NOT worth it in the least. Turn that b*tch in.</p>
<p>You could always just try switching rooms too, if you are really that torn between the two options. I mean it wouldn’t solve the problem your roommate has, but at least it’d be out of your hair.</p>
<p>I personally would be ****ed if I had to switch rooms because my roommate was a moron-- which is part of the reason I am enduring a girl that really wears me out. I have friends here, I have a nice room, I like the location, I am nicely settled in-- to have to be the one to leave because someone else is a clown would really not sit with me. I hope if the OP would feel the same, which is up to them, they wouldn’t move away if they don’t want to just to avoid the conflict. That’s not healthy.</p>
<p>Turn her in now. If theres enough, not only would you get charged with possession, but also dealing. And the fact she stores other people’s drugs already makes it dealing. And, in some states, theres a law that says those drugs are just as yours as they are hers because you also live there. If they catch the drugs in YOUR room, you will be screwed. You need to call the cops/telling the RA/tell someone NOW!</p>
<p>^The thing is, the OP should not have to deal with switching rooms. It’s a pain in the ars to switch rooms—you have to explain your reason, you have to get approval, you get put into a room with a random person, and you have to move all of your stuff by yourself. The OP hasn’t done anything wrong and she should not be burdened with switching rooms.</p>
<p>OP–the fact that your roommate has multiple drugs hidden in your room puts you at risk of a lot of crap. Not only is having the drugs in your room putting you at risk for being charged with possession (and possibly distribution), but it will probably attract other drug users to your room. </p>
<p>Protect yourself and don’t worry in the least about your roommate. Make sure you have things in writing and save all copies of documents (with the dates and times documents were filed). Do it now before someone else reports the drugs being in your room. If you don’t report it now and someone else does, both you and your roommate will be in big trouble. Protect yourself now.</p>
<p>I think I’m just going to wait for her to come back from her class tonight and tell her that if she doesn’t get it out by this time tomorrow, I’m going to report her.</p>
<p>What if she flips a ***** and goes and reports you, so she won’t get in trouble? I’d type up the letters to the RA like everyone else said, print it out, and show it to her (don’t give it to her), telling her that if she doens’t get her stash out you will carry the letter straight to the appropriate person/office right now. Then make her get rid of it right then. You don’t have to put up with it for another day.</p>
<p>^ I don’t think she’d report me, because then all her and her friends’ drugs would also be disposed of by the school, and from a conversation I heard her having with one of her friends, I know that just the acid she has cost $150 and they considered that to be a reasonable price, so I can only imagine what it’s all worth. She’s not just going to let it go to waste.</p>
<p>Ok, you’re probably right. I thought she’d pin it on you in order to avoid you reporting her: to “beat you to it” you could say.</p>
<p>Good luck. I hope you’re good at confrontation. You can’t be timid about this.</p>
<p>Yeah, she’s got too much stuff to just let it be taken away. I sometimes think she deals, though I can’t imagine when since her schedule’s so packed, yet she seems to always be high, so I don’t know. She’s probably going to have to hide it in someone else’s room.</p>
