A detailed study of students at a large, predominantly-white university revealed that while living with a white roommate may be more challenging than living with someone of the same race, many Black students appear to benefit from the experience.
For African American students, this could translate into as much as 0.30-point increase in their GPA in their first quarter of college.
White students, on the other hand, were affected more by the academic ability of their roommate than by their race.
After my blood pressure goes back to normal and I read the paper in its entirety I'll post again.
