<p>Roommates are random, and you may not get along with them. That’s just how college is. You don’t have to be ‘besties’, or even friends at all, really as long as you have relatively similar grooming/cleanliness habits, you’re going to be fine. If you’re this concerned about
‘trusting’ someone you’ve never met, or your safety with a transfer student, you’re going to be in for a wakeup call when you DO finally start school. </p>
