University of South Florida: What should my student do if they do not get along with their roommate?
DIRECT ANSWER
This answer preserves school guidance recorded on 2026-09-01. Follow the linked university sources for current requirements, costs and dates.
The student should start with the RA and use USF's roommate-conflict and mediation process.
USF directs residents to communicate with their roommate and seek help from the Resident Assistant when conflict persists. Housing staff can use mediation and escalate the matter to professional Residence Life staff when needed; an immediate safety issue should be reported through the appropriate emergency or on-call channel.
