to also wonder what "the mean girl" said to my neighbour so he had to phone his mum sobbing at 4am in the hallway?

Sigh. We share our hallway with one other flat. Last month 2 second year stundent boys moved in. It's a pain in the backside. They constantly have people over at night, banging doors every 3 minutes to go outside for a smoke, let their friends shout in the hallway in the middle of the night etc. It wakes us up constantly.

DH had to have a word with them before. Even let them come into our flat at 4am to let them hear for themselves how loud their shouting and door banging is.

They did it again last night. Woke us up before they went out at 12, then again when they brought shouting girls back at 2. At 4, the door banging started again so DH got up to shout. Before he got the chance, he overheard one of the boys crying in the hallway. On the phone to his MUM! He wanted to know from her how this "mean girl" could say such a mean thing to him. He was sobbing.

AIBU to really really want to know what the mean girl said? Presumably after he took her home to his flat.
AI also BU to wonder what his mum answered?

Get the letting agent involved and the university will have a student liaison officer who will read them the riot act. If they are disruptive enough and many complaints are received against them, they will be fined and could possibly be excluded from university.

What you are going through is awful and I can commiserate fully having put up with similar for 2 years. Take photographic evidence of vomit etc and make a note of all incidents. When its really bad, call environmental services and they will send someone official out to tell them to shut up. That has the added bonus of it being logged. Best of luck sorting it out.

But what does the university have to do with it?

They are in contract with the university as students not to breach the peace or cause a public nuisance if they choose to live outside of student halls of residence. If you Google the university name with liaison officer you should find the telephone number.

the university should do something actually. they sent us a letter re the state of our garden when we were in private rented accommodation. they don't like to piss off the residents with student behaviour.

I have contacted a university before about noisy annoying students.

They had a "talk" with them and threatened to throw them out if they didn't behave better. We hardly heard a peep after that and we got a written apology [hsmile]

I didn't make the letter up that we received Scared, so I think that op can go down that route. Maybe not every university is as lax as the one you volunteered for?

SB, its really sad that that was the state of affairs where you volunteered. Luckily, other universities do act. The student liaison officer at our local uni works closely with the residents association and police and does react when there are issues.

The op may as well try every avenue available to her. It isn't much fun being constantly woken up by self indulgent students and will be worse once she has had the baby. Not bothering in case nothing is done is stupid.
