@cababe97 many of our kids have had roommate issues over the years. Their boarding school does not offer a roommate survey. I think that regardless of personality differences, you deserve to be treated respectfully.

" She is a bit cocky and tends to make me uncomfortable. She imitates things I’ve done and said in front of her friends while I’m in the room"

This makes it sound like that is not the case. I suggest you speak to the proctors in your dorm or advisor and ask for their help in resolving the situation. Most of my kids roommates have not turned into close friends-but they have learned to live together and respect each other. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own room and proctors and advisors should be able to help sort that out. You might also have the option of moving to a single if dorm mates will be spending a term abroad. Good luck in getting this issue sorted out.
