Incoming college student has roomie worries
Dear Amy: I am moving into my freshman dorm for college soon.
I am moving in with two roommates: "K" (who I selected), and "L," who was assigned to our triple.
K is very extroverted, and L seems visibly shy and quiet.
I was trying to loop L in to some of the discussions of the housing, but he kept being overrun by K.
K stated that he hates shy people and that he finds them very annoying.
We haven't spoken since we met up a month ago, but I'm getting increasingly worried that L and K won't get along.
Should I text K to ask him to allow L to have his own space?
Should I ignore the situation?
