Have you ever lived with roommates?

I lived with roommates my senior year of college. It was not the greatest of situations, because there was lots of drama between my roommates. they had been friends for years, and just couldnt seem to get along once living in the same place. Part of it was that one was a bit on the promiscuous side and the other was almost prudish. They could not seem to reconcile what was appropriate and what was not. Also, with being in college housing, and not a bit further away from campus, there were loud parties, a guy broke down our door thinking it was his apartment.

Yes, I had. Severaltime in my life before marriage I had to stay with my room mates. It was a wonderful experience. laughig, chatting, passing jogs on others, speaking with open heart. oh! That was a wonderful life.

Yes, I had a room mate who is actually a colleague of mine. We get along pretty well and we're ok to each other. We also seldom see each other because we don't have same schedule so it feels like we're occupying the room alone. My experience in living in a apartment is not that quite good. We rent an apartment with 3 of my colleagues and one of them is my roommate. I never had a problem with my roommate but the other two is my problem. Well its very personal so I can't discuss it in here. Just a tip for you: 1. Be careful in bringing guests and always ask the permission of your roommates/housemates. 2. Watch also carefully for consumption of shared food and other things. 3. Try also not to be so open if don't know your roommates first they might create a gossip out of you. that's all. Hope you will enjoy your stay with other and get along well with them.

Yes,when I was in college.It was exciting.My roomates was also my classmates back in highschool,so we know each other that much.

I'm 21 and a full time college student. So I have yet to move out on my own. I'm saving up some money though with doing this and doing some odd jobs here and there. When I'm done with college I'm going to get a full time job and save up a good chunk of money before I move to New York or Boston...or key west. Not sure yet. *lol* But I honestly would rather live on my own but having a roomate(s) is a good thing.

I had a bad experiance with room mates. We were all best friends and always had a blast until one of them decided that shopping was more important than paying their part of the rent. From that point on it was terrible. I (being the person whos name was on the lease had to kick her out so i could get someone in there that would pay rent. Good luck and I hope this never happens to you.

I've never had room mates, I went from home to being married pretty much and I was very young. There must be quite a bit of valuable experience to be had by sharing with others. I hope everyone pays their way always and that you are all able to live harmoniously together.

Yes, I have, during my university years. We were renting a room in a house close to the university campus. It was a very nice spacious room, and the landlady was very friendly, and takes care of the tennants very well. We had a nice time staying there. My room-mate was from another country, recently came to the university , and he was very happy to be sharing a room who could help him with the language.

Only if you count a husband and 3 kids and a dog as room mates. I lived with my parents until I got married as I will still going to college when I got married. I had one semester of school left. My husband and I both moved out of our parent's homes the day after our weddings. My husband had graduated just 3 months before. So he was my first roommate. We started out sharing all the expenses then we decided to comine our money and started paying the bills together.

Yes, I've lived with roommates before and have had both good and bad experiences. My first time living with roommates didn't leave me with a good impression of it. I was renting a house with a few of my friends at the time. Everything was good enough at the beginning but then things started going bad after a few months. That living situation didn't last long so most of us went our separate ways. The second time around was a lot better and we didn't have any problems. Everyone was too busy going to school or working so we all hardly ever at the house. There was four of us living in the house and we'd only get to hang out together late at night. But it was a good living arrangement and I lived with them until I had to move out of town.

Yes I did when I was in college. It's fun and messy sometimes lol

I never ever lived with roommates before. I live with my parents for a few days a week. The other time, I live with my sister and brother in law. They may sort of be a roommate, I guess but I don't pay anything because I'm the little sister, still in college. It was be nice to move out on my own and pay for my own expenses, etc. Hopefully soon.

Hi olisaur, Yes, I have lived with roommates. For the most part, everything when smoothly because we laid out all the rules of the house and we all basically obeyed them. Every once in awhile things would get out of hand, but we soon straighten everything out and continue to live in peace. Having roommates can sometimes be a big mistake and turn into a nightmare. If you are unlucky enough to get a roommate who does not want to pull his or her share of responsibilities around the house such as doing the dishes, or keeping the house clean, then there will be problems that may cause the friendship as well as the rooming together to be dissolved. It is better to really know a person's character before making a serious decision of rooming together, especially if your name is on a lease agreement. You must know that you can trust this person to fulfill his or her obligation and not leave you to cleanup the mess, if they decide to leave before the lease is up. Have fun, but take care of business first! Make sure that everyone knows the house rules and agrees to abide them. Happy rooming

Usually the scary part and mostly where arguments rise up is when you get the bills. You would start watching who is wasting what and then you talk about it.... but sadly sometimes some people do not take heed hence the quarrels starts. but i hope that you all can live in harmony.

Yes, I had. When I was in College, i had real fun with them. We were all girls too and we had so much bonding. I miss those times, cooking and the girl gossip. Its really good to experience those because not only will you enhance your social skills but also you can gain friends that you can treasure. But be careful not to over trust them because some will take advantage of you. But thankfully, i had good roommates, we did our assignments together. They also helped me in times and I also did the same thing to them.

Way back in my college days, I was also renting and have roommates. That was a very wonderful experience. We built a strong friendship and until now we still keep in touched. On the other hand, there are really times that conflict would arise. Just be responsible enough and respect each others privacy.. :)

I've tried living with rommates since I was in my first year college and even until now that i'm working already. And I've been with different kind of rommates btw. When I was in first year college I used to live in our school dormitory having 7 rommates. Can't you imagine yourself in this situation? Well, as an old adage goes, "The many, the merrier" hehe. Experience wise, we had almost the same. We stayed late outside, violated curfews, chatted and laughed so loud out in the study area and a lot more. But the only good thing with us before was, although we failed a lot of exams but we did not want to take again the same subject for the preceding school year, so there was what we called "urgency to study and drop all unnecessary things" for the moment. Some good points when we have roommates are; we can always have someone to hang out with, someone whom we can cry and laugh with and someone to lean on (ca help us if we need specially when our family is far). But the bad side of having them are; if they bad influence to us, if they steal some of our properties and belongings. And if they are nuisance instead of being a companion. So, it is very important that we have to have a little background check for someone before allowing him/her to share a room with us.

i had a bad experience. my roommates have bad habits,so i moved out
