<p>you dorm… ur roommate is having a party in ur common room… beer pong… and stuff… u tell her NO, u want to sleep, she refuses, since you have to wake up very early in the morning for a very important purpose… so u decide to ‘tattle’ on her… without her knowledge of you doing this… first u call ur RA… he says he will come up and do something about it… he fails… you call again… he fails again… you call again… he finally comes but tells them to quiet down… no use…
should you call the police?
if so, what do you tell them?
because you know the police only comes for emergencies</p>
<p>Another RA, campus security…?</p>
<p>I would first try to set up some mutually agreeable rules with your roommate. If that fails, I would check with housing to see if you can move to another dorm. If your RA does nothing about parties with alcohol, you have every right to ask to move. (or, maybe the roommate should have to go!) I think calling the police will only antagonize the situation.</p>
<p>why does calling the police antagonize the situation?</p>
<p>I’m just thinking that police may do very little except issue a warning and then you still have to room with somebody who knows that you turned him/her and his/her friends in. It may not be pretty. There might be retribution. </p>
<p>Upon further consideration, I think the easiest thing for you to do would be to request a change in your dorm room assignment. Some rooms may be empty or some students may leave after the first semester. It might be a pain in the butt, but it’s early in the year and probably worth the trouble.</p>
<p>PS - How can you have a female roommate and a male RA?</p>
<p>co-ed dorms can have an RA of any gender. my hall is every other room female/male and our RA is a guy.</p>
<p>no… some of the kids here are in tripled… some kids were denied housing… the ONLY way to change ur room is to switch with someone… i found no one willing to switch…</p>
