Am I overeacting or are my roommates extremely rude?
I live in a 4/4 student housing apartment where every room is rented out to a different student. In August I had 2 new roommates move in after the old ones moved out and I feel like they're being very rude and breaking common sense roommate rules.
For example, Every Sunday they invite a three to four people over and watch movies with the volume turned up very loud until midnight. Every night they seem to be up making loud noises until 12 and then they congregate in the kitchen and living room sometimes until 2 or 3am. During the day they seem to constantly be in the kitchen or living room too and I feel like I'm locked in my room all day and all night (minus when I'm working) because they've taken over and never seem to stay in their rooms long enough for me to leave mine and actually cook or watch tv.
I feel like I can never use the kitchen in our apartment because they just congregate around and in it all the time until I'm already asleep (around 2/3am) and I wind up going to bed starving. Then I can't make breakfast in the morning because they're already in the kitchen again! I swear I don't know when they sleep!
I also feel like you shouldn't have friends over more than twice or three times a week. They seem to be here 99% of the time. Every time I leave my room some stranger is hanging out in the apartment.
Am I crazy or is this really rude of them? Shouldn't they at least stay in their rooms part of the time so somebody else can feel comfortable cooking or relaxing in the living room?

You say your living in student housing. That being the case I would expect there would be rules to live by. Something you would have had to agree to prior to moving in.
It wounds to me that your roommates may be freshman away from home for the first time and not under the watchful eyes of a parent. You certainly do not have to live with their freedom rebellion. I suggest you contact student housing and ask to either move your roommates to a different apartment or move you. Student housing needs to have a discussion with them as to how to be good roommates.
Given that school has just started or will be starting in a few days things should change once the homework piles up and they start missing classes because they slept through them. When that happens they will be on academic probation. IF they don't smarten up they will be gone by the end of the first semester. You do not have to wait until that happens. See the student housing coordinator and have them moved.
