Questions for all roommates out there
    #5974079 - 08/17/06 07:42 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I have my sights set on moving to the "bar/club/eccentric" part of town. My whole plan is to live a life of complete debauchery until I turn 30 and then I will be ready to settle down...maybe. This neighborhood has a ton of bars, the hottest clubs (if there are any "hot clubs" in my small city), weird little shops, tattoo places, etc.. It gets pretty nuts on the weekends. I guess you could say that this neighborhood is the "party" neighborhood of my city. The rents are high in this "party neighborhood" (but not as high as they are in my current preppy neighborhood).

I was thinking renting a house with one or two friends or known acquaintances. I think it would be cool to live with some people to increase the amount of stuff that is going on at any one time and it would help to keep my living expenses down. I lived with a girlfriend once, but I have never had a "roommate".

I am leery as to how it would all work out. I kind of like my space and my privacy. What if it all goes to shit and we end up at each other's throats? Does anybody have any advice or suggestions on roommate etiquette? Has anybody been able to go from living alone to living with people with minimal problems?

I think you should move to canadia and live with Toadie so you can :1up: everyone, that is if you're wanting out of control drinking and debauchery

ive personally always had really bad experiences with roomates.. but then again none of the people have that i have lived with have been good friends to me..

the only bit of advice i could offer would be.. dont worry about the financial part, think about how much you trust the people.. thats the biggest part

I had that thought as well. It's weird...during the ages when most people have roommates (18-26) I always had my own place. That I am considering getting roommates at such an advanced age makes me wonder if it is a good idea.

The main reason for me to have roommates is that it would make life a little more exciting. The financial aspect of saving money on rent is only a tiny part of it (I'm not hurting for money). And, I would only move in with people that I knew.

I've had just about every experience with a roomate as you can get. Had roomates just to party (which was quite exciting, a bit too much so) I've had roomates I've damn near come to blows with, and I've had roomates that I enjoyed living with on a daily basis.

My point is, go experience some new things, sounds like your sheltered self needs it.

Roomates suck last roomy I had I ended up breaking a liqour bottle over his head after he tried attacking me. We were best friends at the time and still are but can't live together. If you get a roomy make shure they have a job mine didn't and I went to school and had a job lets just say after a 14hr day I wasn't to happy to see a smoke out sessions with 10+ heads in my living room when we have paper thin walls and I want to go to sleep.

Good friends dont always make good roomates.

Really, social aspects aside, I'd rather have a roomate that was

a: On the same 'clean' wavelenght as me
b: paid their share of the rent/bills on time

Over living with a 'friend'

My cleaning habbits sort of fall mid-way between 'tidy and messy' - I'm rarely super-clean, but I'm not a slob either. Living with a roomate that is a neat-freak or a slob can cause more tension than you'd ever imagine in a house, even if they are good friends.

I hate having roommates but it is a good way to meet new people and I don't think having roommates after 26 is necessarily gay. Lot's of people have roommates until they get married around here. I guess that if you had a whole house it might be better than, say, a typical 2 or 3 bedroom apartment.

Just make sure to nip any non-bill payments in the bud. If there are phone, electricity and gas bills, they shouldn't all be in one person's name.
And don't let the people you live with know that you aren't hurting financially because if you are doing better than them then it's a possibility that some people will try to take advantage. Maybe.

I lived alone for two years before moving in with my current roommate, it was definitely a tough adjustment to make because I like having my own space, but I think what made it easier was that I wasn't terribly close to the guy who I became roommates with, so there was room for us to get to know each other better and develop a good working relationship as roommates. Just don't move in with your best friend or anything, I hear that can be a recipe for a bad situation.

For sure, man. :thumbup:
The worst living situations are when you move in with friends and it turns out to be a nightmare.

that sounds like an excellent plan.  :thumbup:

that's kinda where i hope i find myself when i move to philly in a year or so. should be interesting.

sharing a house or an apartment isn't bad (i think it's fun), but a bedroom? i think i'll try avoiding that as much as possible in the future. sorta cuts down on the "debauchery".

I've had bad roommate experiences with close friends, but great experiences with distant acquaintances.

You would think that living with likeminded people would be super cool, but let me tell you, roommates WILL get to you.

I've lived with probably about 12-15 people in all of my past places, including this current one, and I have only remained friends with ONE of them. In my current situation I feel like I have no privacy at all, even in my bedroom.

Your best bet is to just get a studio apartment.
