Ok ladies I need to hear some thoughts on this tricky situation. My son was paired up with 2 other freshman roommates assigned by the coach. They were friends before and as it turns out they are really into the drinking scene - like every night now. That is their business. At the parent meeting the coach went on about curfue, room checks etc. Made the parents feel really good. So far there has been 1 check for curfue and one group got busted for drinking. They had to run an entire practice.
Now, my son made the decision years ago that drinking was something he wasn't in to. But he's been put with 2 guys who are - and when they are, they get really loud, obnoxious and are just really inconsiderate. My son has basically become a hermit in his room whenever he's 'home' because it's become an every night thing. He doesn't want to be around it when they are getting wasted and has a different set of priorities for his college life.
Switching apartments now isn't an option. I don't feel that I can do or say anything about the situation. I know that it should be up to my son to deal with it. So what does he do? I don't think he can talk to them about it. For alot of kids the partying is all part of the college scene. He also doesn't want to be 'guilty by association' and have to run for a practice. Does he go to the coach? - do we as his parents tell the coach? - or does he just deal with it for the rest of the year? He's only 2 months into his first year of college and it makes me feel bad that he has to live like this.
I'm looking for all advice and opinions (and some prayers) about this. Thanks!!!
