The roommate is probably just insecure about losing one of the first people she's had a chance to get to know at college, and I agree with everyone else that it'll hopefully get better over the course of the semester, as she adjusts and her insecurities fade. Your daughter sounds like she's handling this in a very mature way, so kudos to her. And who knows, maybe they can reach a point where your daughter can introduce her roomie to a sister of hers who has similar interests and roomie will see that your daughter's sisters are not scary people out to steal her friend away, but nice people that she can be friends with as well. College adjustment is hard and stressful!
