I have never had one before. However, I am moving to Oxford now and quickly scrambling to find one. I have screened three people and the best person is a black female. We talked about the issue and she understood the feelings. We both have concerns about others view it - friends, families, and general new people. I personally have no problem with, but have a mentality that I unfortunately do care more about others' thoughts of me than I should. What do you think?

Black isn't a problem. Female is.

Women are messy as frick.

Would think you're hitting it and would need pics to tell you how I feel about it

Jesus...

Who cares?

Do you trust them? Can they pay rent? Can you have a normal conversation?

If so, then color/sex does not matter...unless it matters.

In that case, we can't help you.

You don't want a female roommate especially from Ole Miss. They're messy as hell and if she's a screamer, you'll be hearing that a lot.

Don't ever room with a woman unless you are married. You will end up fricking her.


Unless you're ugly AND fat or gay.

Just tell your parents it's the help ? You can also bang if she's cute.

I used to have a white female roommate. Race isn't a big issue, but I don't like sharing bathrooms with women.

Lived with 2 female roommates at one point

Both smoke shows

Easily the worst roommates I've ever had. I'd avoid females all together. You may get lucky but if not..watch out

I'll be "that guy"

You don't want to live with a black girl assuming you even come close to the average demographics of a td poster who goes to an SEC school

I'd be concerned about the friends she might bring around.

Nb4 StrongSafety.

Is she good looking? Nothing like a pretty black girl.

Lived with three girls of different ethnicities than mine for a summer. Pretty cool time. You learn a lot about other people.

But yes, women are dirty as f*ck.

You're making a MUCH bigger deal of this than you should. I'm surprised the girl is even still considering living with you.

I would have no problem living with a black roomate, but I would not be crazy about living with a female...

to be totally honest, I have been around oxford a bit and frankly, wouldn't want to deal with the social stigma that would result...Oxford is a very small and very tight knit town and rumors would fly about the two of you the day you arrived in town that would just add unnecessary complexity to both of your lives...

I lived with two girls a couple years ago and it was great, house was always pristine.

I had plans to live with a black friend a few months ago but they fell through. Would still live together if that option was available.

Most people would consider me a sexist/racist FWIW.

ETA: Just realized I'm living with a black guy now actually

I once lived with a Puerto Rican chick and a half-Indian chick. No big deal. They were both nice but not clean.

I've done it a few times. Enjoyed it each time. The best times were in Ft Walton Beach Florida. My buddy and I lived with 4 women, 3 white and 1 black.

Why would black be a problem? That's absurd.

Female is a terrible idea though

Fwiw, I went to Ole Miss. You sound the one she should be worried about.
