Sari Gabrielle Millman, a freshman from Alpharetta, returned to her Russell Hall dorm Nov. 3 and found that her bed and clothes were soaked in an unknown liquid, the report said.
Millman and her roommate had not been getting along for "a few months," she told The Red & Black during a telephone interview Monday.
"There was a stain on my mattress cover [when I returned], and I had taken my sheets home with me to wash."
Millman slept on a futon that week, and her mother recognized the fluid on the bed as urine during a visit Nov. 8. Millman reported the incident to an area coordinator at Russell Hall before calling police.
"I feel like she went through my stuff one day because I found something missing," Millman said. "And I found one of her hairs on my computer. It's longer than mine so I know it was hers."
Millman moved into a different room in Russell Hall after the incident and said she has had no contact with her ex-roommate.
"I still have to go and sign something at the police department, so I don't know what happens after that," Millman said.
The roommate was unable to be contacted Monday.

seriously?
My roommate lives in a completely different room, and I could probably find one of her hairs in my room. (Continued…)

Yet another brilliant feat of journalistic integrity from Brittany Cofer! Does the R&B assign you this crap or do you actively seek it out yourself? Either way, your stories are all epic fails. (Continued…)

Couldn't this have a more interesting twist? Like one roommate was white and the other was black.
Wouldn't that make for a more interesting conversation piece?
Or maybe the black roommate could urinate on the white roommate's McCain/Palin shirt?
Something sexier is needed in this story. (Continued…)
How did she not know?

How did this girl not know that it was urine? If only it gave a distinct smell or color? I am embarrassed to go to the same school as this girl because her mother had to tell her what it was. (Continued…)

The only thing more disgusting than urinating on a bed is my daughter's writing ability.

Did she just plan on sleeping on the futon forever? I mean honestly, was she going to wait until her mommy got there to make her bed for her? Its already repulsive that it happened, and incredibly idiotic that she didn't know what it was, but the fact that she just LET IT SIT THERE gets me in the vomiting mood. (Continued…)
