might be a hot take but part of being a good roommate is spending time outside the room so the other person can have alone time

I also kind of disagree but i understand where you’re coming from. They shouldn’t have adults dorming w other people and tbh people should have their own, the schools just greedy for maximizing profit at the expense of the students.

I get what you mean, you shouldn't have to remove yourself from your own paid space, but if you have a roommate you literally can't find it in themselves to leave, do the best with what you got and honestly do the same thing to them.

Yes it’s so hard! Esp the dorms that don’t have a communal space like a living room or what have you. But maybe you could talk to your roommate and ask if they could give you some time every now and then?

i try honestly most of the time i don’t mind, but i spend the majority of my time outside the dorm and sometimes come back for like an hour to decompress and no matter the time of day they are here. i try to be super understanding because i get not having it in you to do stuff, but sometimes it gets frustrating when all i want is an hour to myself and i can’t get it

i truly don’t mind sharing a space, it’s nicer than being totally isolated all the time, but in my opinion part of sharing a space like a dorm comes with giving each other alone time. my frustration comes from me giving my roommate ample time alone in our dorm but them not giving me even an hour a week. but i also understand that they have every right to be here as much as they want, it’s just frustrating sometimes
