<p>In this case I would just let it drop, explain to your other suitemates your situation and since they're not insane they'll most likely believe you. I liked Plattsburgh's advice. Let her be in denial, but the truth is inevitable.</p>

They were all reasonably nice people, they were all very different from me, and while Roommate #1 really did make pretty heroic efforts to befriend me for about a month (that's kind of balanced by the fact that Roommate #1 liked to have sex with overnight guests while I was 6 feet away from them), we didn't socialize.

<p>I need to meet more girls like your roommate. Only if she's hot, that is.</p>
<p>OP: I think nontraditional made a valid point. Maybe she just doesn't want to get involved just yet. You can try to talk to her all you want, but if she doesn't want to talk to you than there's nothing you can really do except try and find some outside help...Maybe she's not as deranged and weird in real life as she was online? Either way, good luck to you.</p>

Nah, that was my roundabout way of suggesting that she was ugly.

<p>Thanks for clarifying for the audience at home.</p>
<p>On Topic: Your roommate seems crazy and I'd look for a switch-out ASAP. They're behaving completely irrationally and I wouldn't want to have to deal with it for a year.</p>
<p>Just tell your dorm administration that your roommate doesn't want you because you're an international student (yes, play the race card). Then they'll almost have to move you. That way you won't have to deal with the chance of her being crazy or not. :p</p>

Wow. There's an international race? I must have missed that check box on my apps.

Most international students are from South/Central America or Asia, where the minority of people are white. European students have more opportunities to go to good local universities. Statistics play in my favor ;).</p>

<p>Judging from your favorable "statistics", you're either suggesting only white kids attend college or only white people reside in Europe in order for your "race card" theory to be correct.
You're also assuming her roommate is white.</p>
<p>Though I'm sure you have further statistics from the all mighty Wikipedia to back both claims up.</p>
<p>In either case,
I'm sure the OP could go to housing and tell them that her roommate, who's never seen her before, is racist against her international race. ;)</p>
<p>I believe you have misunderstood me. What I'm suggesting is that when the minority of a region is white, the chance that an international student arriving from that region is white is equally as low.</p>
<p>While there is plenty of chance that her roommate is just a freak (hey, I wouldn't be surprised :p), she may have seen her name or picture on Facebook and didn't like what she saw (which, of course, is a horrible circumstance).</p>
<p>If you're going to wellesley, I believe they just put up an announcement that roommate/housing assignments haven't been finalized yet, and it was a premature leak, or something. So I'd call the school and ask for a change, before it's absolutely final.</p>
