She pays for the rent just as somebody with there own flat/house does i wouldnt want somebody just walking into my house would you ?

Halls of residence are much more like hotels than they are like private flats; in a hotel the housekeeping staff would have a key and would come in exactly as happened here.

I use it at hotels where I stay especially in some of the 'dodgier':eek:countries I have been to,just a peace of mind thing

and all security staff at Uni's are CRB vetted , and had he(I take it was a he)walked in and she was starkers would have probably been just as embarrased:o

yes there is a houskeeper & there are set times when she comes in so they know that & they can be dressed in time etc

thats the key word isnt it ''peace off mind'' for an 18yr old female yes he may have been embarrased but not as half embarrased as an 18yr old might be eh......also could he not comprehend that if he walks in he may be faced with that ?

IF you decide to call up there probably is not much they can discuss with you anyway. I work at a University and unless a student has signed the release form, we are not allowed to discuss their grades or other issues with anyone other than the student.

If she's at Uni:

1. Isn't there a button thing on the lock that she can push down if she's inside that will stop someone turning a key in the lock?

2. Does she have a tutor on the floor of the hall that she is on? Maybe she could have a quiet word there?

3. Could she speak to someone in the Student Union or on the uni's telephone counselling service? They may be able to help her take matters further, without identifying her (or the porter, if it's more of a general complaint rather than directed at the individual).

I agree she needs to try and sort this out herself.

Is it a good idea to wedge her door shut?

What if she became ill, or was injured in some way, and people needed to get in?

At least if she left the key in, or similar, they can still easily break the door down.

A well wedged door is very difficult to open.

Just my thoughts...

I don't think you're over-reacting at all, why should a strange man be able to walk into an 18-year-old girl's bedroom without permission?? I can't believe that anyone here thinks that is acceptable.
