This is my (19M) first semester of college. I have my own bedroom but share a bathroom with another suitemate (M). He seems very introverted as he has never talked to me even when I try to start a conversation. I say this because I have no idea if I should bring up the terrible smell he radiates. I think it could be a yeast infection but I'm not sure. He stinks up the bathroom so badly I will not even use it. If you are within a couple feet of him you can smell the strong odor. I don't know what to do. I am paranoid he is going to make me and my belongings smell, too, and I don't want to spend the entire semester going to the rec center to use the bathroom in attempt to avoid the smell. I'm new to college, so I am not sure if these things are common. I would love to hear some recommendations. It is really awkward because this kid will not even talk to me, so bringing up how bad he smells sounds like a terrible way to start things off.

Maybe the suitemate had an even smellier suitemate who moved out before the spring term started. Eventually, after enough room switching, the smell will be diluted to where it is barely a problem. Or until the entire male side of the college stinks and becomes nose-blind to it.
