Don't worry. I'm sure it will be fine. I think the main reason my first roomie and I didn't get along is because we never talked. Before I moved in with my second roommate, we talked about all of the important issues...when do we study, how are we going to handle sexile, what kind of mess is tolerable, etc. The only thing we didn't cover before I moved in was how do you study. Which we soon learned needed to be discussed, because I study with music playing loudly and she needed silence.
So yeah. As long as you remember to talk about things before they become problems, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. You don't have to be best friends with your roommate, and you shouldn't expect to be.
One last word of advice: getting pizza together the first week you live together is a great way to start things out.
