I’m an international student from Nigeria and I couldn’t afford to go back home for spring break so I am in temporary housing for a week. I have a roommate that’s a transfer student from China and we’d both been doing our own things and he didn’t seem to bother me. Now I had a stressful week last week with a bunch of midterms and papers so I couldn’t really talk to my friends. Since the break started I have been playing apex religiously with my headphones on talking to my friends. I don’t rage and I have a naturally quiet voice. Last night the RA knocked on my door and my roommate quickly dragged him out of the room and talked to him for about 10 minutes. The RA came in and told me my roommate said I have no manners and I am too loud while he is trying to study. While we have been here he has played league of legends most of the time and I have barely seen him study. He was demanding a new roommate or he would go to a hotel. I told him my roommate had never talked to me about the issue before and I was confused. The RA went back outside to try and get my roommate so we could all talk but he refused and said he was scared I would harm him. I don’t know where he got that impression but the RA knows me so he dismissed the idea that I would be violent towards him. They continued talking outside while I was inside and the campus police was called because either he claimed I threatened him or he threatened me. The police came and settled everything and told him I can’t be forced to do anything in my room and if he wants to study he should go to the lounge. He left for a while but didn’t take his laptop on anything. When he came back I was watching tv on a low volume (20 on a small Samsung tv) and he immediately called the RA to say I was making noise without talking to me. I got pissed and just turned it off and went to bed. Today I woke up around 10 and started playing apex with friends. He got up at like 12 and went to his computer. While I was playing he told me to shut up and I told him to fuck off. He flipped out and told me I had no right and I should play my games elsewhere. I told him if he wants to study he can go to the lounge as it would be much easier to move a laptop than a tv + console. I don’t fell like I’m making noise and my previous roommate never complained about it so AITA?
TL:DR
Roommate says I’m making too much noise but never talked to me about it. Campus police was called and he was told to go to the lounge if he needs to study. Told me to shut up while I was talking to my friends online and I told him to fuck off to the lounge
