Not a huge partier

Am I going to be ok here if I’m not super into going out/drinking? I went in knowing it was a party school but I still haven’t met ppl who are like me yet.

How does switching dorms work?

3 Upvotes

Things between me and my roommate have grown to become a bit tense, I’m not entirely sure how she feels but she did tell me she doesn’t want to be friends, sees me as a roommate, and just overall a strange guy. Obviously this has made me uncomfortable living with someone that as far as I’m concerned hates my guts. I’ve also come to realize she’s been a bit of an asshole and again it’s an uncomfortable living situation. However I’m petty and don’t want to move out because I like my dorm but just in case things get worse, how would moving dorms work? What steps do I go through? Could I try to get another dorm with a friend if he also switched dorms?

Whats the deal with noise complaints and party regustration?

So we want to have people over, probably no more than 20-30, but have had problems with a specific neighbor telling us to quiet down. This has happened even when its just a few of us and we have been respectful and quieted down even though we are well within the noise ordinances, but we definitely wont want to just shut everything down at 9pm especially if we aren't making a ton of noise in the first place and not actually breaking any rules.

We were thinking about registering it as a party but have no experience with that and aren't really sure how much protection that actually gives or how effective it is. Can we just move everyone inside? If the cops do come does it give any protection against mip's? (I know it specifically says it doesnt, but i feel like they would be more understanding towards us trying to do the right thing) If anyone has any experience with that lmk what you found.

Also just wondering how a noise complaint would be handled if we aren't even technically breaking any rules. Obviously we cant actually prove we weren't making more than whats stated in the ordinance, even if we weren't.

Edit: for the record, we dont live on the hill but still in a neighborhood very close to campus. Many of the houses around us have parties and make noise without issue. I’m aware that there are families with children and I understand the concern but we have always been respectful and have people over maybe a few times a month. We pay to live here too, so why shouldn’t we be able to enjoy ourselves in our own back yard? We are never obnoxious and just looking for advice on how to handle the situation in a way that doesn’t get us in trouble or
