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…
