Roommate Drug use

Good friend’s DS’11 had a roomate light up a joint in the dorm room on the first day of the first semester freshman year. University disciplined BOTH students! The pothead roomate finally verified that the DS’11 had nothing to do with the pot in the room - two weeks later - and the DS’11 got his record cleared and got a room change - freakin’ nightare.



That rule drives me crazy. Two people sharing a room who may or may not know each other well – Roommate B might not even know that Roommate A has drugs stuffed in the back of his desk. If he knows, he can talk to the roommate and/or try to change rooms, but there’s no guarantee that either of those will work immediately. I have had a lot of roommates and there are two in particular where I am thinking that the conversation about not having drugs in the room would not go well. Not everyone is a reasonable person who respects their roommate’s wishes.

In the mean time, a room search could easily get both roommates in trouble.
