She probably needed the biggest medicine cabinet to store her diazepam, latuda and lithium carbonate.
She probably needs her own room with padded walls and all sharp objects removed.
When I was a freshman in college I had 3 roommates and we got along great, none of us were "that guy" but of course that was almost 35 years ago before special snowflakeism.
Oh come on! People 35 years older then you thought you thought you were an entitled, spoiled special snow flake too. Good lord.
So she's high-maintenance. Can't her roommates tell her to go get bent, without administration rushing into protect them from having to do so? She's self-absorbed. Is that a violation of UCLA rules?
Yes, I get that her list is ridiculous. And? She's probably 18 or 19. There's a whole lot of ridiculousness going on at those ages. So her roommates are saddled with having to deal day-in and day-out with a self-centered person making self-centered demands.
Welcome to the real world...
Its not that easy. I was in a similar situation freshman year. Roommates with someone who was mentally unstable, had previously been committed, etc, etc. Its a terrible situation. Quite frankly if you have those kind of issues, you shouldn't even be living on campus. Luckily the guy didn't even make it past Thanksgiving, but it was completely terrible.
Mine was awesome, but boy did we have some conflicts on my floor.
One girl was a crunchy California deadhead, and she never showered. Ever. The smell in the room was.... Oh Lordy. Totally nasty. I really liked this girl as a person, but thank goodness I wasn't her roommate. The roommate was a really quiet, shy, studious girl who eventually went ballistic and complained to the administration until she was allowed to move into another room. A lot of screaming and crying...
The first letter (yes, it was long ago) from my freshman roommate informed me she was not "fat, but stacked". She continued to tell me what I could and could not do in the room as she was going to be an opera singer and her voice had to be protected. No one could come in our room with hairspray, cologne, nail polish - you name it.
Shortly after arrival, she found a nasty boyfriend with greasy hair who, according to my friends, slept in my bed when I was at home some weekends. Then I would remove all bedding when I left but, of course, there was still my mattress - gross.
Luckily for me, she got pregnant, left school the first semester, and I had a friend move in. And I do not laugh about it years later - still gives me the creeps.
They don't need to. Rather, they should let people choose two options:
A- select their own roomates
B- enter into a random pool.
As an incentive, dorms catering to choice 'b' can be the newer ones, or those with more creature comforts, or a better location.
Facebook, internet forums and other social media sites?
No, they could interview as few or as many as they want and have time to do. Likewise, they could interview nobody and enter the random pool (choice 'b').
The email is bad. But it sounds as though she made some initial attempts to reach out to her new roomates that went unanswered.
Yes....Like went into their spam folders like any random unsolicited emails do.
