I was so annoyed recently for my roommate made phonecalls every night ?As a matter o fact,it does a great harm to the next day's study and work.If the situation continued for a long time ,I am sure the other roommates will be crazy,including me.To keep a silent enveronment is essential part of living in school.I am so confused now,anyone who has some good suggestion?let's start

you can talk to him if he can speak softly while making calls but he doesnt and he do this always then you have to speak this issue out on your landlord/landlady so that this could be solved promptly. studies is really essential for your future, i can assure of that, everyone does!

white noise maybe? or maybe (politely) paraphraising "SHUT UP" to your roommate? what about "Hiding" his/her cell phone before bed and then making it magically reapear later? naw... he/she would get wise to that... hmmm... arent there suppose to be like dorm councelors or something you can talk to about problems like this? hmmm... can tell you one thing for sure, I'm glad I dont have this problem, lol

Maybe you could ask them to keep their voice down if they are going to be talking on the phone after 10 pm. Or after everyone goes to bed.

They should be more considerate than that. If their voice travels in the room they are in, maybe they could go to a lobby or community room in order to keep from disturbing you and the other roommates.

I myself sleep with the tv on, so it probably wouldn't bother me. But I have known people who can't sleep if there is any kind of noise at all. I guess when I was younger, I just got used to being able to sleep anytime anywhere. Maybe that is the way they are and they don't even realize that they are keeping others awake.

The best thing to do is just confront the problem. Good luck to you, and have a good evening.

hi jingke.
i have never experienced this kind of situation. although i also went to a boarding house before. but if ever i experience this i will talk to my roommate in a nice way. i will tell him what i feel and that it disturbs me. that he can continue with his activities but try to minimize his noise. and if still it continues, i will look for another house. ;D

good luck. take care

You need to tell this person to stop making calls in your area that disturbs you, perhaps get support by fellow roommates as well so you aren't all alone in the confrontation. Suggest that they should go outside to make calls, not inside to keep everyone awake when you have a schedule you have to live on. Tell them that you are considerate when it comes to their sleep so they should be more so of your sleep. You are there first and foremost to get an education, socializing and making friends is second to that, so make sure to state that it is your priority and that you would like some more peace in the dorm. I wish you the best of luck in these matters; happy mylotting and have a great day or night.


jingke (67)   ranked 3,335 out of 14,622 in questions & answers  1 year ago

I can't agree with you more.As a matter of fact,I do get support from my other roommates.we shoul put education in the first place and make friends secondly.I also believe the problem will be solved successfully.Thanks,sugarplum9084.

I think the best thing you should do in a situation like this is to approach him/her about what you feel when he/she is very noisy specially in the midnight. As we all know, all things can be fine without even arguing if in a nice way. After you and and your roommate had already talk with each other but then when the other day comes and he/she's still noisy, I think that's the time you should tell your landlord about what your roommate is doing.

lol thats crazy so if i am the one heard your room mate i might follow what he/she said on the phone so he/she learn to lower his/her voice as he/she is disturbing you or maybe other people listening to that phone call.

This year, I have been blessed with a set of three quieter roommates. They are actually considerate to what others have going on the next day. But last year, I had some of the loudest but coolest roommates. They were amazing people and very fun to hang out with, but they didn't know when to stop hanging and usually had people over till midnight every other night. I was beginning to have problems with homework and studying to the point where I was becoming stressed. The stress was causing physical problems to my body and that was where I turned things around. I actually got a time management therapist and told my roommates that they were causing problems in my life so they were considerate enough to leave the room and go down to the lounge when time would hit around 10 or 11 or when I would ask them to take it down a notch. lol So to help you out if you have a similar problem to what I had, approach your roommates and ask them if there were any possible ways they could be considerate to your hours of study and alone time. If they can't do that, then you need to buy some pretty good earbuds... lol

Thanks for sharing your experience with me.To be honest,many thoughts of yours are very reasonable.If we can not change the situation then we must chang ourselves,It's a good idea to buy good earbuds.Thanks,Greeneacres.

i don't have a room mate but before some college students live next door who keeps the volume to the maximum level and they always get to my nerves. one time, i posted a note to keep the noise down because someone's sleeping during day time and has to work at night. but that didn't take effect. I hate them for the whole time they were around. they're gone now. i dodn't kill them, they left for whatever reasons, i don't care.
