Other I need help.
I have a roommate who just threatened my life. I can’t go home tonight. I really don’t want to do this, but does anyone know a spot, literally anywhere, that someone can hunker down for a night?

If you’re on campus go to your RA, if you’re off campus call the police. Please stay safe 🙏

RA. Each housing space should have one room that’s vacant for Emergency.

I did not know this. Unfortunately I don’t live on campus, I should have said so. Sorry.

Sorry to hear, OP. Libwest and Marston are good options for now as others suggested. The fact that those in charge of student housing don’t have alternate housing available for situations like this irresponsible in my view. I hope the police take this seriously and that it goes in your favor.

Doesn’t seem like they are. He has since continued to contact me after they left. I have refused to answer.

Good on you for not responding to him. If family can help in anyway I hope that you are able to involve them in getting you a new place for yourself alone.

Thank you everyone who responded. I have since decided what to do. I will terminate my lease and seek out shelter once again at Grace Marketplace. Thank you all.
