When my boys were growing up, I would often tell them that in a lot of situations, if they need to ask the question, they already know the answer.

So, to the OP, I say.....the fact that you are posting this question on this forum tells me that you already know this is a bad idea. It's college....there are a lot of other places to live, and a lot of other people you could live with.

It is beyond creepy that a man of his age wants to rent out a room to a college girl.

Agree with Aunt Bea, and I also have 2 daughters of similar ages, one of whom is looking for off-campus housing as we speak. The guy might be a perfectly nice human, but I wouldn't pay her rent to live in that situation. I'm not prone to anxiety or paranoia, but this is fraught with potential trouble, and you can NOT rely on first impressions. I would only consider it if I knew for certain that he was 100% gay (AND a benign nice guy).

You probably have seen these kind of scenarios in movies. I say in general.. a young woman with a older man that is a stranger usually means trouble/ awkwardness / uncomfortable... Please turn down this offer!

be careful, but if it works, good for you

No way. Don't do it. If my daughter suggested this to me I would go to great lengths to help her find other options, even if it cost me substantially more. If she chose to do it anyway, I am not sure I would ever sleep again. So if not for your own sake, do it for your parents'.
