What can I do if my roommate's significant other is always sleeping over?
Always sleeping in your room, now that can be a great thing if your roommate's significant is always sleeping in the room, it's your room too, so you can hang out there too, you can listen, you can watch, it could be a learning experience, but typically it's not like that. Usually people get really uncomfortable with the idea of someone else doing these things in the same room, and it becomes a huge source of aggravation, and there are things you can do. You can call your parents, and be like, "Hey, I can't believe that my roommate is sleeping with everybody on the planet!" Or you can call your best friend, you can text them or email. You can put up a website about how much you hate your roommate, or you could talk to them. Indeed if you've set the precedent about what makes you uncomfortable, and saying you hope you can tell them, and you could deal with that with each other, then you could talk about that and finally deal with a roommate whose always over. But if you can't find a resolution, that's when you have your RA, or your CA, or whatever you call them, who comes in and helps to intervene. Because the thing is, students, especially new students, are so afraid to say what they feel to their roommate, because they don't want their roommate to hate them. So, if you're someone who's so terribly shy and so afraid, that's when you really need to use your resident's life support staff to help you get comfortable. Don't let your parents be the ones to call, it's not their job, you're the one to do it, so think of it that way.
