<p>The race thing is pretty out there. Don’t worry about it.
As for you two being totally different…that’s part of college! My roommate is almost totally opposite from me- she’s a country type girl who listens to reggae, spends all her time at the beach, hangs out with almost all guys, etc while I listen to a big variety of music, rarely go to the beach, and only have a few guy friends. Of course those are only a few differences, but I think it gets my point across. Anyway, she turned out to be a really fantastic person. We have things in common like frozen yogurt, annoying neighbors, and inside jokes, things we didn’t know we would share when we first met.<br>
You can always get a room transfer after the first semester, but it’s a lifechanging experience to share a room with someone totally different from you.
Just try it. You probably won’t regret it.</p>
