You can try all you want to communicate gently, but you’re never really sure how someone will take something. I always say it’s best to talk face to face given the opportunity. Communicate early about your boundaries. You’re lucky if you live in a dorm since your RA will help with anything that’s too crazy like smoking, extended guests, etc.

try to be lenient at first, everyone makes mistakes so don’t hold grudges… after the third or fourth time that’s when you bring it up if it really becomes a problem. try to give them a chance at first and then if that doesn’t work then you can fight about it😭
