Protecting your personal space is important.

This woman lives in a dorm that’s near her college buildings, so she goes back to her room during short breaks.

A classmate repeatedly asked if she could come to her dorm to nap and rest in between classes, too.

AITA for not letting a classmate nap in my dorm room during our break?

I have one short break between back-to-back classes on certain days.

I use that time to return to my dorm, rest for a bit, change clothes, or finish small tasks.

It is the only hour I get to reset before the next long lecture.

This woman refused to let her classmate nap in her dorm room.

A classmate who is not close to me overheard me saying I was going to my dorm to nap.

She followed me out of the building and said she wanted to nap, too, since her boarding house was far.

I told her I could not bring guests to my room.

I was not comfortable letting someone I barely knew stay in my personal space.

Her classmate tried asking the following week, and she again said no.

She said she would just lie down for a short time and would not bother anything.

I still said no since we have dorm rules, and I share the room with someone else.

She got frustrated and said I was being too strict.

The next week, she tried again.

This time, she said she just wanted to sit in the room to cool down.

I repeated that I could not allow guests.

Now, she’s wondering if what she did was wrong.

Later, I heard she was telling others that I acted like rest was something only I was allowed to have.

I really do not think it is wrong to protect my space and follow the dorm rules.
