If you just started living together yes bring it up immediately. Very important to establish clear boundaries at the start of living with someone, just tell them you’ve started to notice a smell and want to agree to work on keeping everything as fresh as possible

Ask her how she feels about the showers and lowk be shocked asf and then jokingly bring up the smell. PPL NEED TO BE EMBARRASSED WERE TOO OLD TO NOT BE SHOWERING ESPECIALLY IN THIS HEAT. It’s disgusting

Tell your RA! Or talk to him first then tell your RA. You’re both adults, and so you as an adult can tell him to be an adult

If they hella depressed or Autistic that can make it hard. Ask them to shower at least once every 2 days as a minimum compromise. I got friends who have it rough.

^this!!! i agree with everyone that she needs to do better, especially when living in shared spaces, but not showering with access to one often signifies a poor mental health episode. it’s always best to approach with kindness and empathy, while still setting clear boundaries and expectations for what you need as well. ask her if anything’s wrong, and offer help/suggestions without judgement. shame and ridicule as seen in these comments will only make the problems worse.

I agree with this but if they refuse to talk about it or fix the problem it’s time to involve an RA unfortunately:(
