If you tolerate something from time, everybody goes with the flow.

Keep on kee...Great that you're looking for a place. Keep on keeping on. <br />Like Lisa said - You don't really know anyone before you move in with them, and then it takes a while. So it's not that ideal to move in with someone you don't know, at the same time, if you're like me, living alone is a bit too lonely sometimes. But you have your dog and they are great companions.<br /><br />many people have already mentioned what I am going to say; i think the most important thing is to discuss EVERY thing BEFORE you move in together. Communication is the key like Lisa said. Tell each other your strengths and weaknesses and prepare each other. Make sure you agree on the most ground breaking rules - like how to keep the common ground. I am neat and tidy and I once lived with the twin sister of my best friend it turned out to be a disaster. She didn't care about anything and the whole burden was left on me. She left used tampons on the sink in the bathrooM!!!!All until one day, she surprisingly bailed out and left me to pay the rent alone.<br />Anyways, my advice is, think thoroughly about what you are like to live with and what your minimum needs from a room made would be, discuss and make some agreements beforehand.Adaezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005977710433435845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560444965847331936.post-6054005097700220012009-04-22T23:24:00.000-05:002009-04-22T23:24:00.000-05:00My roommate has to be CLEAN and TIDY.

These are key things I look for 'cos I can be pretty anal myself.<br />I don't mind a boo'ed up roomie or one who lets her man spend the night as long as they are not disrespectful. I once roomed with an oyinbo babe who would have loud sex, very annoying.Original Mgbekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409561613382179987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560444965847331936.post-53618247338169736942009-04-22T17:55:00.000-05:002009-04-22T17:55:00.000-05:00Every one has said almost everythink I would love ...Every one has said almost everythink I would love to put down. I deally I'll say don't have a roommate cuz you never really know someone until you live with them.<br /><br />My own story is different. With the past roomates I've had, I didn't have a good experience. I guess it was cuz I could really afford the payment and they were helping me out.<br /><br />On the real, COMMUNICATION is key. I'ld rather live with someone who knows a little about me but not everything about me. If I had to choose between a female and a male, I'ld choose a male....but then he has to be clean and wel groomed. I hope this helps. If I have any suggestion I'll let u know.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10284209376515234531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560444965847331936.post-34169268700277308652009-04-22T15:42:00.000-05:002009-04-22T15:42:00.000-05:00i wish i could help...

In my case it did. I got a flat with two girls i vagely knew. One of them turned into a nightmare and the other will probably be my children's Godmother!<br /><br />Boyfriend palavar was one thing that we didnt discuss cuz when we moved in we didnt think it would be an issue. It was and at some point her Bf was in our place all the time as in virtually living there!<br />I wounld'n necessariyl pick a single person cuz u never know how they will change when they get hooked up...dats what happened to me.<br />I guess u should have a discussion about this from the onset and also about other things like parties, freinds over, loud musci e.t.c that you just can't stand.<br /><br />Like Dr B said communication is key!!<br /><br />I'm strangely so excited for you....makes me remeber my first year in med school whihc feels like it was ten years agoScarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010391773409145494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560444965847331936.post-17035157892689244502009-04-22T11:45:00.000-05:002009-04-22T11:45:00.000-05:00before now (in undergrad), i had always roomed wit...before now (in undergrad), i had always roomed with my close friends, so no drama. i also used to have my bf come over pretty often, and they didnt seem to mind cos we never stepped in their territory.<br /><br />now i'm rooming with a "friend", and there's still no drama. one thing that i'd consider killing - ok, not so extreme, my roommate for is the bathroom. thankfully, we have separate bathrooms. if u have that option, i'd say go for it. <br /><br />going for a single roommate is not really realistic cos you're both adults. communication is key. just let your roommate know the things that'll tip u over eg.<br />1. dishes in the sink<br />2. dirty bathroom<br />3. if ur bf stays over, potty train him ...blah blahbumighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921134538404613210noreply@blogger.com
