Interesting perspective. Sounds like torturous freshman year.

I have lived with drug users and more than one of them was likely a dealer. Just part of live in a Berkeley student co-op. I complained to house management numerous times, each time being told that if I report any incident officially to the central co-op housing office or to the police, every house member and neighbor will despise me. The house management also informed me they would be unable to protect me if anything were to happen to me.

Not exactly the most pleasant environment when you're attempting to make it through challenging coursework. Somehow I made it through, mainly by griping about it to other concerned house members.
