<p>Someone who's going to flip out when they realize I'm a lesbian. I expect that I'll have to answer a couple of questions and reassure my future roomie that I have no interest in sleeping with her- that's no big deal, as long as she listens and trusts me on that. But if she's going to refuse to come within ten feet of me out of fear I'll be overcome by hormones and start ripping off both our clothes, or leave advertisements for gay reprogramming therapists all over the room...well, then we have a problem.</p>
<p>Beyond that, anyone who's constantly drunk or high might be a problem, especially if I'm cleaning up bodily fluids or being woken at 3 A.M. by my roommate stumbling in when I have to be in poli sci class at 8, but I can probably coexist with pretty much anyone else.</p>
<p>Here's my list of things that I REALLY don't want in a room mate!</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Biggest thing... I couldn't deal with any racism. I'm going to college in the north to ESCAPE the racism of the south!</p></li>
<li><p>Huge jock that doesn't know how to have a conversation that doesn't include sports.</p></li>
<li><p>An extreme conservative... I really want someone who is liberal, but if they aren't at least someone who is tolerant of liberals. </p></li>
<li><p>Someone really dirty. Would like our room to be in a somewhat respectable state. I'm not a neat freak, but I don't want a room with ***** all over that will smell. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>And that's really all. I wouldn't mind someone religious, or even zealous. My top choice is Notre Dame so I expect that my roommate will probably be religious to some degree :P</p>

No, there wasn't anything about sexual orientation on the housing application or the survey they sent out to try and put you with someone you'll be compatible with. I'm sure all will work out though, =).</p>

It's probably a good idea to make sure your roommate isn't going to be a homophobe then...you should probably look into that soon.</p>

<p>Mine would have to be a girl who thinks I'm her counselor, and who wants to whine and complain all the time (er, more than an hour a month...) to me about her problems or ask me for advice. And I HATE gossip; I don't care, do it all you want, but I don't want to hear it!</p>
<p>oh yeah, and I wouldn't mind a conservative roomate (I'm majoring in govt; very liberal), but she'd have to be openminded. However, haha, I do NOT think I'll have to worry about that there as dems outnumber reps 6:1 in that county :D</p>
<p>I would actually love to room with a lesbian. I'm straight, but all of my closest friends have been bi/lesbians. Masculine females, though. I tend to not get along with girly-girls or gay guys.</p>
<p>that reminds me...people who are seriously depressed all the time kind-of creep me out (unless they really do have a medical condition). I can't help that I'm an optimistic idealist at heart, and anyone who is always emo/pessimistic would totally be a downer</p>
