An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.

　　Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race, she said.

　　At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.

　　One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly, said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. This is the definition of integration.

　　Ive experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes, said one Penn resident advisor . The RA of two years added that while some conflicts provided more multicultural acceptance and melding , there were also jarring cultural confrontations.

　　The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.

　　Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.
