<p>Lol, otherwise you sound like a nice roommate. 'course, maybe you hate kimchi or something and I just don't know about it. =P</p>
<p>further,</p>
<p>What's so bad about saying "kid?" I say that all the time, even with other young adults.</p>
<p>I see it more as a term of endearment, if used under certain circumstances.</p>
<p>i hope i get a european roomie next year. I would love that</p>
<p>wow the guy who lived next door to me was a korean male international student too. he roomed with a random (chinese-american) roommate.</p>
<p>how do you guys know the number of your roommate?...i didnt get anything..i dont know who he is</p>
<p>yeah I'm coming from abroad. I have no clue who my room mate is. I'm npot bringing much except like clothes and those too not too many. I'll probbaly eventually buy stuff when I get to college. Hopefully, I'll get in contact with my room mate soon enough.</p>
<p>My college just sent out a packet with their name, home address and phone number. </p>
<p>Yeah, I'm holding back on buying certain things (fan, lamp...) simply because I have no idea how small the room is. Figured I could go shopping with my roomie as a "bonding" experience when we get there. :)</p>
<p>Haha, death by fan. </p>
<p>"You'll have a good start with that attitude!"</p>
<p>Ughhh, PC police. I use that term all the time with my close friends, even though they are older than me. :) It's not automatically meant as a derogatory phrase. Sheesh.</p>
<p>To the OP, your so freakin shallow...just because he student is foreign doens't mean his gonna be werd.</p>
<p>who said he was going to be weird?</p>
<p>@taekwondo</p>
<p>Says the man who started a thread asking people who attended one, maybe two colleges in thir lifetime, to rank the availability of women at 11 seperate top flight insitutions.</p>
<p>Does the word shallow ring a bell?</p>
<p>this thread is about international roomates.</p>
<p>I know. He called you shallow, while he posted an actual shallow thread.</p>
<p>oh, i get it....I called him shallow in another post. Sorry I dont really remember names on this site. Anyway, I don't see how anything I said was shallow, however I do believe his "OP" was shallow.</p>
<p>can't everyone have some fun sometime? it was shallow, yes, but fun</p>
<p>HAHAH the fan death theory.. dang that theory got out of hand.. XP people actually believe that (well they say it's still safe to open your windows instead of just running it all night)</p>
<p>And as a person who flew around and stuff.. you'll be surprised what fits in our suitcases.. especially the huge korean bags (called emmigration bags.. LOL) I fit not only all my clothes but even my rice cooker! yes (i forgot to pack it in my car = my storage.. i'm not international)</p>
<p>Just get used to the smell of kimchi and be ready for spicy korean ramen noodles i would say.. (bad if you don't like spicy food.. i would say 80 percent o fkorean food is spicy) he'll probably hang around the koreans so u won't see him much possibly.. it just naturally occurs</p>
<p>My daughter chose to live with an international student for her sophomore year. She has found that a lot of the internationals are more serious about their studies than the American students. They make great roommates because they are generally more conservative than the Americans and are really in our country for a top-notch education rather than for a four-year party scene.</p>
<p>i didn't have a korean roommate but the boarding school i went to had a lot of koreans. most of them were really reclusive and rarely spoke english except in class. a few of them were really outgoing tho.</p>
<p>Self-selection memie. As you said, the best, brightest, and higher achieving of the bunch are more likely to attend an American university.</p>
<p>I think it would be neat to have an international roommate. The cultural differences would keep things interesting.</p>
