Do fights normally happen in halls

Is it normal for there to be a fight in uni halls because tonight in my halls two guys had a punch up over something petty apparently one snitched on the other for smoking weed on uni grounds. Has anyone here ever seen or been involved in a uni halls fight?

It's not usual but it's not unheard of

I never witnessed any physical fights, but my flatmate in the room next to mine was always arguing with his girlfriend, so we'd often hear screaming matches in the early hours of the morning.

Not common overall, but in the first few weeks there will be a lot of kids testing their new boundaries and learning new interactions

For one, both bringing drugs into a shared space AND telling tales in a shared apace, will absolutely affect your use of that space.

Wasn’t common in my experience, but of course there is always scope for alcohol fuelled aggression. Drug taking tended to come to the fore in student houses where people had found like minded housemates

Yes, sometimes happens.
Usually between couples, neighbours & sharers, people who have been drinking very heavily or are fighting over a date/ex.

Slight logical slip up there, you can't break rules when there's only one rule. :smug:

Fights are rare but can happen for X/Y/Z reasons.
Although I have been only in halls for 3 weeks, had zero encounters/ heard no fights in my accommodation.

I have just thought on that I was sorta involved in one... at a graduate accom block, too.

Tuesday night/Weds morming, party over the other side of the courtyard kept me awake at around 4am with ****ing Robbie Willians karaoke. I was up for a work placement at half 5

Anyway, long story short I went and.found the biggest, loudest ******** there and had subtle words, and his midweek parties were much quieter from then on.

Given that I didn't go to it, how do you think I found out about it? :rolleyes:
