Incoming freshman roommate has some concerning requests
I’m an incoming freshman at App State
I messaged them to let them know we’re going to be roommates on instagram, and they gave me a list of things I apparently can’t bring into the room, including:
- Nothing made with animal products
- Nothing aromatic or scented
- They want the room to themselves for 15 minutes at 6:30–6:45 AM, 1:30–1:45 PM, 5:30–5:45 PM, and 9:50–10:05 PM
- They also told me that I can’t have any devices plugged in the room during the time.
They made it clear that and i quote "Will not be allowed in the room" I informed them that i will not be doing any of those and they called me 'Islamophobic" and then they told me i cant also bring a bible in the room
I contacted housing about the situation, and they suggested roommate mediation.
I’m trying to be respectful of their preferences, but I’m also confused about some of these demands. I’m paying for the room just like they are, so I wont be complying with any of those
I’m starting to feel uncomfortable about the whole situation.
What would you guys do?

They also said my Mom may not be with me when i move into the dorm
