A former student filed a law suit earlier this week against Stonehill College, claiming the school failed to help her when she complained her roommate was having too much sex in their dorm room, U.S. News reported.
Lindsay Blankmeyer of New York said officials of the Roman Catholic school did not do enough to provide a reasonable living situation for her when she complained that her roommate often had sex with her boyfriend while she was in the room and engaged in "sexually inappropriate video chatting," the Pioneer Press reported.
Blankmeyer was given two options which she did not find suitable. One was to move into a dorm which had a reputation as a "party dorm," which she was uncomfortable with. The other was to move into a former study lounge which she found to be too small, according to U.S. News. When the school refused to move her roommate, Blankmeyer ended up living in a hotel before filing the law suit.
Blankmeyer claimed her pre-exisiting depression worsened as the situation went on, even reaching suicidal levels, the Pioneer Press reported. She eventually went on to graduate in 2011 and said the problems began her senior year.
Kristen Magda, the spokeswoman for the college, said the college acted "swiftly and professionally" in response to Blankmeyer's complaint and tried several options to resolve the situation, U.S. News reported.
