My first college roomie and I hit it off right away. Turns out we were both taking the same advanced Spanish course. His mother is Filipino and when she'd call to speak to him in her native tongue, she'd insist on talking to me, too. He and I would speak as much Spanish to each other as English.

Don't worry about being around your roommate so much that you'll be arguing and getting on each other's nerves. It may happen It may never happen. My roomie and I went everywhere together. We even played competitive tennis as a doubles team.

As for the nudity - it's going to happen. So what? It's not like you've signed some kind of ridiculous contract that forbids it.

Mainly, blackone, you'll find that with being away from home with adult responsibilities that you'll begin to have adult reactions to your environment. Your fears and concerns are unfounded.
