<p>So I found out who my roommate was yesterday, and I'm an international student and we're really opposites just as they come (in practically every sense of the word). Now, that isn't my problem--I'm used to people being different than me. The problem is that she doesn't BELIEVE I'm her roommate!! I found this stuff out from an e-services site my school offers, and she doesn't believe in checking hers and thinks I'm just making up the fact that we're roommates, and is going around TELLING everyone she thinks I'm making it up! (I don't even know who she is, I'd have to be demented to randomly contact her and make it up--I mean, honestly, what a stupid thing to make up). I'm really worried that this is going to cause all these rifts between us before we've even met, and I know I'm going to try to be very compromising in a roommate situation--it just seems like she really isn't. Any help, people? Thanks!</p>
<p>Leave her alone. Chances are she'll get embarassed once she finds out you ARE her roommate and will contact you herself. Or not.</p>
<p>I'm not specialized in this kind of problem, but if things get worse, can't you change the room or roommate?
It really seems like she's a bit paranoid - not trying to be offensive or anything but you have to analyze this situation thoroughly; you don't want to start the year with a nasty situation..this might reflect in your study habits or the way you try to accomodate with the college. If she can't be rational or calm, you have to just change her with someone else. You are not forced to accept her and neither does she. But i would first try to understand her a bit - who knows maybe she really is ill or maybe she had a bad experience before she knew you. Friendships are built on trust, you know.
Oh and where were you accepted?:D What country are you coming from?</p>
<p>Thank you guys for your responses.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what she should be paranoid about. I don't quite know what to think, actually, but I think I'll just leave her alone and let things be. And I probably won't start planning my room with her just yet.</p>
<p>This is really going to make moving to the US harder on me. I hope the rest of the people are more accepting than she is.</p>
<p>But where were you accepted? :) And what country do you come from?:)</p>
<p>Don't fret too much. If she is as nuts as she's acting, chances are you got stuck with one of the 4 not cool people on your campus. Don't feel compelled to be best friends with your roommate--getting along is nice, but if you don't get along, well, there are other people to hang out with. you can change your roommate, spend all day at the library or with friends and use the room to sleep in.</p>
<p>Haha, pay for the dorm and then just use it for sleeping xD</p>
