clues to too much parental involvement in the OP:
judgement on “fancy furniture” the roommates parents bought for the room
knowing the content of the roommates facebook pages
judgement on thinking the roommate brought back an illness from “crowded party rooms”…maybe the illness came from the shared bathrooms?from the dining hall?from a crowded lecture room?
there’s way too much judgement,let alone involvement from this parent IMHO

both my kids had mismatched freshman roommates but learned to get along.D was a slob who shared a room with a neatnick…when you walked in the room you could see the clearly divided space,one side neat the other piled with stuff.However, D was a fairly sophisticated social kid with good life skills who was able to help her sheltered Asian background roomie break out of her shy home centered ways.
