<p>My former dorm roommate, who moved in sometime in late winter quarter after my old roommate moved out to go home for a quarter due to health issues, went home every weekend since she lived 2-3 hours away. She never got involved with anything on campus, as she would always come straight back to the dorms after classes and then go home with her parents on the weekends. By the end of the year, she didn’t even know who the RA for my floor was because she was so disconnected with what was going on (and I don’t think she knows the name of the RA for her former floor either; she was previously in the dorm room above mine, the one known for being the party room), despite my suitemates and I saying so numerous times. My suitemates and I basically realized that my former roommate was used to being babied around and having her parents doing everything for her, as she never helped take out the trash or helped keep our suite clean, and on the day we had to move out, she had her mom clean her entire side of the room for her. She didn’t learn how to be independent from going home every weekend.</p>
