8. how about because you're breaking the rules?

At the very least, if it happens as she said it did, the roommate had guests without her permission, a clearly stated rule. Kicking her out for being unhappy about that is blaming and punishing the victim.

Also the previous roommate she had was someone she had been friends with since before college. The friend took a medical leave of absence and she was assigned someone random. As someone who has also suffered from anxiety and depression, I can certainly see why the prospect of yet another strange roommate (in a dorm known for being loud) would cause her a great deal of anxiety.

It's a she said/she said assertion. When someone tells you it's "OK" and it really isn't, MADem Mar 2012 #9

that may be, but... rebecca_herman Mar 2012 #10

You are assuming that the suer is telling the truth and the roommate is lying. MADem Mar 2012 #11

I think, after a certain point, one has to take responsibility for oneself. MADem Mar 2012 #6
