Can 4 very good friends share 1 small, cheap, apartment?

[Zorro]

If yuo dont mind the couple getting busy and making noise

 

[spidey07]

No.

You will hate each other after 3-6 months.

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

Bah, I'm still great friends with the people I shared a tiny townhouse with.

haha, 4 people in that? no fvckin way.

Why not? Throw Mr. and Mrs. Wing in one bedroom, tack up some dorm-style ghettocurtains across the middle of the other bedroom and stick the singles in it. I can see the bathroom as being a point of contention only when it's time to get up in the morning... Which isn't much of an issue, because the way our schedules work out, I find it easier to shower in the evenings, and the other 3 have staggared startup times. Kitchen? We're college students. 1 person can cook frozen pizza and ramen for 4 EASILY. The other room? A couch, a chair, a TV, and some console games. Can't see anything wrong with that.

As long as none of you are uptight bitches you should be fine. Go for it.

We're polite enough to wait until everyone's asleep or out (or has their iPod earbuds firmly implanted). And she's pretty quiet, anyway.

 

[shoRunner]

ya'll better be all clean or relatively clean...cause if you get 1 roomate that doesn't know how to clean up after themselves and everyone else does, it can get pretty dang annoying.

Is it that she is quiet, or you just can't cause her to make any noise? 😉

 

[Wonderful Pork]

if you guys are on completely different schedules then it can work out fine. I shared a tiny 1 bedroom with 2 other roommates for 2 years and we're all still very good friends. Other than sleeping it was very rare for all 3 of us to be there at once though (unless we were throwing a party or something like that)

We've done everything but sign the lease and move in. It's gut-check, soul-search time. It's actually the disused second level to a townhouse. The lower level is also occupied by college students. Lower level has 2 guys, 2 girls living there, but the area is SIGNIFICANTLY larger (4 bedroom, 2 bath, full kitchen, giganormous living room)

We're all slobs. Which works out just as well.

 

[imported_LoKe]

Just so you know, you won't be getting any sekcs.

 

[iamaelephant]

So I take it the majority of people here have never been to university? This is how most students live. You'll love it. The biggest drawback if you don't happen to be part of the couple of the sound of them pounding at night.

no way in hell

I lived with other slobs, but sometimes if you clean, and someone else doesn't clean theirs, you start to think, "god damn b1tch never cleans his sh1t."

Aside from that, the smallest living quarters I've been in is 4 guys, 3 bedroom place with 2 shitters (1 shower) and it worked out fine aside from the occasional "i'm sleeping, turn it down," "but it is down!" argument.

True. This setup blows a lot of dorms out of the friggin' water as far as square footage per head goes.

Make a poll.

Bah, I'm still great friends with the people I shared a tiny townhouse with.

I moved out of my Mom's house with a good friend of mine when I was 18. We rented a 2 bedroom apartment (really the upper level of a 2 story house that was converted into a rental) for 6 months and we hated each other by the end of our lease. We were both working and money was never a problem...it was all the other B.S. I ended up getting a place of my own after our lease was up.

Still, we remain friends to this day. He was my best man at my wedding.

I lived in a 3 bedroom house with 4 other guys a few years later shortly after moving to Los Angeles and after 6 months we were all happy to go our seperate ways. It's tough for friends to live together. When you're young multiply the difficulty by 10.

Bad idea. Even if you still think it's fine after three months, chances are some or all of your friends are secretly really pissed about something or everything, but can't say anything to avoid causing trouble. Especially since you are part of the couple. Sets up a easy us vs. them situation. At least that was my experience of college apartment life...

But it's already an us vs. them situation! They wanted her, and I got her 😛 Bad blood seems to be water under the bridge now, though.

Anyway, it's a month-to-month setup, so if things start to go wrong, we can just slide right back out.

 

[Howard]

No.

 

[Baked]

Please make a blog if you decide to go ahead w/ the idea. I wanna see how soon you'll kill your friends, and vice versa.

 

[FreshPrince]

most of the time, this will destroy friendships, therefore, I do not recommend it.

however, there are rare instances where this might work and the friendships become everlasting.
