apartment or house sharing
Advantages of finding a roommate or a room for
rent.
It might be safer always having someone else around,
especially overnight. You'll save
money
because rent for an apartment or home shared by two is usually
significantly
cheaper than
having your own apartment. It also might give you a new outlet to meet....
shopping duties, etc.
Disadvantages of finding a roommate or a room for rent.
You give up a great degree of privacy. This includes audio as well as visual. You risk
winding up in an apartment sharing situation with someone who's habits and ways of doing
things do not mesh well with yours. If you are a quiet type who relishes curling up at 9PM
with a good book, a roommate who has lots of company and parties until midnight would
be a nightmare.
Bottom line for the pros and cons is that if you pick the right roommate it can be a terrific
experience, but if you pick the wrong one it can be a disaster.
