I don’t see a problem with rooming with someone from your own country. You will only be isolated if you do not attempt to expand your circle of friends. I think it may help ease the transition if your living situation is not stressful. My D’s freshman roommate was very different than D, and it was a difficult situation. The next three years, she lived with a friend. She and her friend had many other friends and did many things without each other. It was a great situation.
