We're all either sick of our families, or sick of commuting. 3 guys, 1 girl (1 couple). We can't afford to do it on our own...

Of course, we'd need to find some way to bring Josh's ridiculous, heavy, expensive pool table with us... And we'd need 4 parking spaces. No landline, cable intarweb is a neccessity, and however much electricity 4 people consume.

We could aggregate our usenet accounts into a single account to save some money (since we'd have the same IP).

Don't need a TV. Already have furniture. What's the catch, here? We can't find any reason NOT to do it (other than my having to reregister my car and getting a PA driver's license)

In a NBC SITCOM? yes

In the real world? Probably not, if you all want to stay friends.

and by "small", we're talking "2 bedroom, 1 shitter, half a kitchen, and one other room"

you'll either love it or hate it. depends on how small the apartment is... but i'd recommend against living with a couple. when they fight, :thumbsdown:

edit: thats too small of an apartment, you guys will go crazy on each other!

No. You'll eventually be sick of each other. I call it now, the girl will ruin everything. Even without the girl, it would likely end up that way regardless.

No. Four struggling college age people have never successfully lived together in the history of the human race.

I never had problems rooming with friends...I don't have the horror stories that seem so prevalent.

Edit: We fix 6 people (about 8-12 depending on the SO situation at a particular time) into a 3 bedroom, 2 bath place.

Cheap apartment? How can 4 people not afford one decent apartment?

I'm not being some snob or nothing, but come on.

How is that a good thing? You will become part of the couple and not even realize it. The girl will bitch to her bf, the bf will bitch to you. You will get fustrated, angry, annoyed. Repeat for the rest of the roommates.

congrats on lifer

I'd love to move in with like 3 good friends. Expect, for it to work, they'd have to be nerds though, that way they wouldn't bitch and stuff.

I have never seen a post of yours where you were "not" a snob.

I believe he's implying he's the other half of the couple.

You'll want to kill each other by month three.

But I say go for it! Once you have your first taste of freedom from your parents you'll never go back. :laugh:
