I also lived with another guy who was an abusive Muslim (Palestinian) alcoholic - yes, really…
He worked as a security guard/doorman, and regularly wandered around the college, drunk and loutish…
Anyway, end of the year, he is hired as head residential advisor, in charge of a whole hall full of grad students, even though he was still an Undergrad!!
Just imagine what might have gone down, with him in charge…
I was so appalled by all of these things that I outlined, that I pulled out of the “race” to be considered for a resident advisor position at that college, and, for a while, moved into private housing…
I pretty much spiraled from there.
Next place I lived (college) had three (!!) suicide attempts, one success, in a semester. Almost qualifies as a cluster, at that point…
It’s amazing the kind of bad shit you see when you pay attention, in that kind of environment…
Lived with a guy, in first year, who would throw a broom over the top of the bathroom stall to hit me, when I went into the toilet, slammed my head into a wall a couple of times, etc.
I fought back, but in a world of “my word vs yours”, it ended up worse off for me…
He ended up as head of the student union, embezzled a bunch of money (surprise surprise), and was eventually indicted for fraud, lol…
I also had a staff member crush a bird to death, in front of me, in their bare hands, to prevent me taking it to the vet (as you do)…
Just… Stuff like that. Lots and lots of things like that. Eventually it adds up.
These stories are messed up. It's not uncommon, but still messed up. I can see why you want to stay away. To be honest, the riots in Seattle started in what is called the U district. That's where the University of Washington sits, and they regularly stopped traffic and destroyed stuff as soon as Donald Trump was elected.
My favorite sign of stupidity is at Brigham Young University in Utah. In the minds of people in Utah, this is Oxford and Harvard combined. Every year, new students arrive and a handful immediately start drinking, smoking, getting tattoos and other stuff against their own religion. They could do this at any university out there, but chose BYU specifically. A friend going there was raped, and the guy got off scot free by crying and saying she was racist against his brown skin.
So it's not uncommon. I'm sorry you saw that and had to deal with it.
You should just tell us what happened.
