Roommate Issues
If your student expresses concern about their roommate being involved with alcohol and/or other drugs in their shared room, or in a way that has a negative affect on your student, it may be helpful for you to encourage them to talk with their roommate. If talking with the roommate does not solve the problem, then encourage your student to contact their Resident Assistant (RA) or Community Director (CD), the Center for Health & Wellness Promotion, or a trusted administrator for help.
If your student is concerned about alcohol and/or other drugs being consumed in a neighboring room or someplace on the floor, they can also contact the RA on duty.
