A student at NYU took to TikTok how her roommate peed on her due to a recent noise complaint that she made.
A student named Eloni Belcher shared that her roommate was being a bit noisy on the phone, so she texted her politely asking if she could keep the noise down.
Although the roommate didn’t text her back, she felt that the roommate understood where she was coming from since it was late in the night.
As the night went on and Belcher slept, she suddenly woke up to find her roommate urinating on her arms, allegedly due to being under the influence of alcohol. Shocked and infuriated, Belcher asked her roommate what she was doing. The roommate continued to urinate on her and acted as though she wasn’t doing anything wrong.
According to Washington Square News, despite reporting the incident, Belcher claims NYU administrators failed to provide meaningful help. She cleaned herself and her mattress immediately after the incident and reached out to the Department of Campus Safety. Two officers responded and documented her complaint. However, after waiting an hour for further response, they allegedly told her it was “not worth waiting for the police.”
Feeling dismissed, Belcher filed her own police report. She also requested temporary housing to get away from her roommate — a request that she says was denied.
Belcher criticizes NYU for not taking her case seriously, especially since many students, including herself, pay a significant amount of money to study there and expect protection as well.
