Dealing with Bad Neighbors in College & The Dorms

Dealing with bad or noisy neighbors is not a fun thing. In college, often if you’re stuck with bad neighbors in the dorms, apartments, or the next house down, it’s often very unlikely they’ll leave. Students sign year long leases and RAs are very unlikely to transfer roommates around unless something major has occurred.

So what’s the best way to address this? Many people say building that bond and knowing neighbors on a first name basis early is important so that when issues do arise, it’ll be much easier to speak to them about it.

Another way is through this Annoying Neighbor Complaint Form:
Yes, it’s exactly like it sounds, a passive-aggressive form that is easy for you to fill out and submit to neighbors.
