So how do I tell my roommate she stinks? She hasn’t showered in like 3 days and my friends say there’s a smell when they first walk in.

Definitely talk to your RA. Usually with roommate struggles, they want you to try to work it out yourself first. However, I feel like this situation could be different since it’s about hygiene. Maybe explain to your RA that you don’t know how to handle it because it feels uncomfortable for you to address on your own. I’m sure they will be happy to help! Make sure that you keep following up so you can get a room change or get them kicked out of your room if it gets worse!

I’ve been through this before so this is the best advice I have. If your RA won’t write them up and notify housing, definitely reach out to the department yourself and tell them what’s going on!
