<p>I am wondering why the OP is against having a transfer student as a roommate? This person is experiencing the campus for the first time and has similar concerns that you do as a freshman. In the scheme of so-called “room-mate problems” trust me a transfer student is not an issue and housing is not going to make a change based on that reason. Your assumptions are offensive to transfer students and will not help you as you continue to meet new people. You need to take a step back and re-evaluate this situation and even if you want to be living anyone.</p>
