Is it acceptable for flatmates to throw a spontaneous party at 2am?

I'm literally just about to go to bed and it's 2am when all of a sudden about 10 people come barging into the flat (there's only 3 of us living here atm) with music really loud and shouting etc?

...and I'm worried about my food being nicked! :frown:

Getting 'revenge' is just childish...they're not being malicious; they're doing what young uni students do best!

Go out and join the damned party :biggrin:

Nobody will mind your hastily put on makeup!

It's a sad day in life if you can't face others without make up. What are you waiting for? Get out there and say hi!

Get a balaclava so nobody can see your post-make-up face (no offence) and sleep infront of the fridge. Problem solved.

As it's (probably) Freshers week, then ear plugs are probably the best bet if you really need your sleep (I can empathise).

After Freshers, you may want to compare subjects/timetables, and work out a compromise. Last year there were a couple of lads in my flat who were friends with people from another flat. We compromised by saying that they could make a mess of the kitchen (sorry, I mean 'cook') etc. until 11pm (time after which halls are supposed to be quiet where I am), and then they went to the other flat. If this didn't happen, they knew that I'd have the radio on for my 6 am starts :wink:

It's a bit early for :banghead:

, and the radio idea is usually only worth it after you've made friends/discussed why you need sleep.

That's not acceptable. Was there not an agreement about noise, etc when you signed the contract?

Do you have night wardons or anything you can complain to about noise?

Don't be a cowardly custard, though. If noise in uni halls is bothering anyone here you must first talk to the noise-makers themselves. The porters won't be too happy if you creep off/moan to them before having confronted the noise-makers yourself. Be mature about it, that's all I'm saying. And also, things calm down more often than not after Freshers'.

She's not living in halls. She's living in a flat with 3 other students. I say she gets on her mobile and makes an anon call to the police :wink:

If my new flatmates turn out to be noisy bastards I will not hesitate to anon shop them :biggrin:
