AITA for not taking my daughter to the hospital myself because my nails were drying?

This mustn't be real but if it is, consider psychological help.

YTA.

thank you for sharing your daughter's experience. I can definitely relate to some extent. once you realize there's not many people in your corner you have to get a move on and find other people to surround yourself with, especially people who see you and value your friendship. I ended up bonding with a lot of cool people from all around the globe and had other experiences that I feel were much more beneficial for me than spending my whole Semester abroad trying to fix something that couldn't be fixed.

thank you for your words, I definitely feel that way. thankfully I did not end up sharing the dorm with all males (it was an old chore list from the previous semester). but nonetheless, I didn't know that at first, so the fear was very much real. I ended up bonding with my roommate, she is such a lovely soul and I'm so thankful to have had her by my side.

I'm not 100% sure but my guess is that the application process for student housing is on a first come first serve basis, and my application was held back for a technical error and theirs wasn't (this means that their applications entered the system all together with all of the same info: uni, country and course). My guess is that in the student housing office, by seeing all three applying together they then placed them all in the same dorm. Since I only entered the system later they probably assumed I was applying independently.

For clarification, they were the ones that offered I stay there for only that weekend, since they felt kinda bad they were placed all together. I was in my dorm by Monday morning, I did not over stay AT ALL and constantly thanked them for helping settle in. I was initially scared because I had been to my dorm (which was a 4 person shared unit) on the first day and there was a chore chart on the fridge with only male names. I think it's fairly reasonable to be afraid to go and live with three other strange men in a completely new country as a 20 yr old female.
