Looks like UT has given the freshmen their housing contracts and opened the floodgates to roommate requests. Here’s an email hot off the press:

hey, this is **** ***, and i will be a freshman at UT this coming Fall. i moved from China 5 years ago to Houston, Texas. i know i will need lots of time to study since english is my second language. i dont listen to music while studying most of the time. however, sometimes i do, but it wont be loud at all. i am a very neat person. surely, i will bring my desktop, and i may buy a laptop. during the fall, i wont bring my car, but i will after christmas. i am currently classify under liberal arts college, undecided. i am looking forward to transfer to business school. but still not sure what major i like the most.
i hope to get a roommate who is good at academic and knows lots of hott white girls!!! ahahhaha
JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BEING MY ROOMMATE!!
THANK YOU

I replied that I’m already taken, and suggested that he joins a FIG. It seems that he’s in the same position I was in (or maybe still in). Nevertheless, I find it interesting that one of his concerns are to find “hott white girls.”
