Call me conflict-avoidant as well as naive, but I think there should be some means of dealing with this without the potential of creating a criminal record for the roommate, but also without the potential of harm to the OP’s daughter. I don’t know what that is, personally.



There is a way.

If the roommate uses or stores drugs in the room, despite the OP’s daughter’s objections, the OP’s daughter can say “Look, this really bothers me. I don’t want to cause you any trouble, but I’m not going to live with this. How about we both go to the RA and say that we can’t get along and want to change roommates?”

If the roommate says no to that, then it makes sense to report what she’s doing.
