My first semester at a university, I spent a week in my room before classes reading the Iliad cause I didn't know anyone. Then my room mate showed up and seemed like a kickass party boy. Well, we partied too much and ended up throwing fists at eachother. The RA's didn't like that, but were sympathetic by the fact that he was blabbing his mouth off whilst I just let him talk shit without going at him, so they cut me into another room with a really fun guy (non-liquored up kind of fun). So it sucked, but then it was all good.
My second semester here, my old room mate has moved in to another set of dorms (2 minute walking distance) with a senior RA for a suite mate. Turns out the senior RA doesn't like me or some shit, and has banned me from his room. I went to talk to him about it, and he happened to be drunk when I did (he's 19, btw...). He ended up just being a stupid ass mouthing off and not answering my questions, so I stood up to leave and told him I wasn't going to forget this. The guy sitting next to him, a new RA, asked my name. I gave it to him and he told me "I'm not gonna forget that." So that's an RA and a SRA that're holding personal grudges against me that I fear may slip into professional misconduct on their part. The upside: I've decided to quit drinking untill I turn 21 in February, to cut their legs out from under them (aside from underage drinking, they'd never have anything to write me up for).
So ummm... yeah. I'm sure you're having a hard go at it, but sticking to your guns is rarely regrettable, especially when it comes to education.
