i am a transfer student-a Jr. at a university and live in the best and newest complex on campus-upper classman only! the dorm is like a little mini apartment: i have my room and my room mate hers, we share a living area, kitchenette, vanity and bathroom-trust me for $1800/semester my parents are paying for my room/dorm i better get the good life style! the thing is that with so many friends and in general it has to be kept clean and i am the only one doing that and getting sick of it! i have just as many classes as my roomate and homework and a bf, so she is not helping! she uses my dinner ware or plates but will not wash them right away and always says later which means one to 2 days later! on the top of that she barely takes out the trash eventhough she promises that she will do it and i have to do it before classes! then on Fridays she goes back home-she is from Houston, same place as i am!- and i am stuck doing the cleaning again! any ideas on how i should make her do it!

y don't u just don't clean up after her for at least a week. note her reactions and if she just does not care just change her.

your in college, so find a new roomate who is as clean as you want to be. Or tell her you need her to clean more or you need to take a different step. Or get a single room where you and you alone are responsible for your own messes. I still remember college and feeling the way you are feeling at the moment! good luck.

Is there a dorm advisor? Have you tried requesting a new roomate?
I'd start by telling her to use her own stuff not yours. If she doesnt take the trash out, leave it in her room.

If she wants to act like an adolescent treat her like one. Call her parents and complain to them. I hope this isn't too much of a friendship because any thing you do will end it. I understand how you feel, I've had roommates that their mommas picked up after them all their life and it was the worst thing they could have done to their child.

agree to a schedule of when it should be done. kinda like a contract. if she can't do the dishes when her agreed time is then she takes one of yours. if this goes on and on then she should only be allowed to use throw away things like paper plates and such that she has to buy so you won't have to clean them. if she won't take care of the trash when she is sposed to then bag it and put it on her bed. you might hafta get a little harsh.
