Moving in with friends

[novon]

Any advise for those out there that share a house/apartment with your friends? I tried it once with my best friend and as a result 6 months later we weren't friends anymore. Now I'm in a situation were I need to move in with friends again... a little hesitant.

Not a good idea.

Only if you live in separate rooms, eat separately, have separate dishes, and don't share anything except the air that you breathe.

novon, for the reason you posted, I for one wouldn't move in w/ friends.

its not all that bad...well...hmmm...i guess i wouldn't have a good view on that...:Q its better when you make friends with someone you already live with.

Bad idea.
Almost as bad as selling a used car to a friend.

I moved in w/ one of my best friends about 6 months ago. Everything was cool for a while...that was until his girlfriend moved in with us. OMG, now we don't even talk much or hang out. Just make sure that know what is going to happen in the future so you don't get stuck like I am right now. I can't wait to get a new place...arrrgh.

I am currently living with 4 of my friends. At the beginning of the fall semester I was stoked about it, had a great time for the first few weeks. Then my immediate roomate started bugging the HELL out of me, i couldn't stand him. He also couldn't stand me, we were pissed at each other. We just put up with it for a few more weeks and then it all blew over and now we all get along great and nothing irritates us about each other anymore. I say it's not so bad if your friends aren't complete idiots.

Hell no... considering how i'm really anal with how i use my stuff... and if i don't ask to use yours then you don't ask to use mine... i don't think i'd last with any room mate... other than my best friend who i could cut some slack for.... i've been burnt once... never again...

only if your friend is an extremely hot chick.

I roomed with some freinds for over a year. Sure we had our issues but we survived as freinds(i think) I suppose it helped that we all grew up together and were involved in the same HS sports & Activities so we had already spent a great deal of time together and knew each others quirks. Plus when we first moved in together we all pretty much had the same schedule. wake up>go to work>get home>whoever got home first cooked(usually me)-the others cleaned up> start drinking > go play softball(league) or practice >go to bar >come back > pass out.....REPEAT

Bills were split evenly.

Worked for over a year. We split up after 1 guy took a job in a different city and I moved in with my girlfreind at the time(we are now married)

That is the worst kind of setup. Just because she'll bring home guys and you'll have to hear her all night. The worst part is that she won't see you as dateable material because you live together. BAD IDEA.

Ultima lives with us here, and we're ok.

i lived with a friend for a year and we are still tight

on second thought, his girlfriend was really annoying

My college roommate is a guy I've been friends with since 1st grade. Not great friends, but friends. We get along fine, we live in the same room, we share everything, have totally different music tastes, but we never fight. Guess it depends on who you are/who you are living with.

i roomed with a friend and didn't have any problems.

 

[ed21x]

as long as you guys establish good rules (ie, clean your own dishes), a trash schedule, etc, you guys should be fine. Or at least thats how it was with me and my two room mates

It'll be cool until you start having your girlfriends come over. Once that happens your friendship will go to sh!t because the women don't understand male bonding. Of course pussy is more important than male bonding so that's just the grief you'll have to deal with if you want to get laid on a regular basis

I live with a hot chick I have known for 7 years. We went to middile/high school together, now we live together and goto the same university. I wasn't good friends with her before college, but just friends. We really didn't have all that much in common, we couldn't stand each other friends, music, movies, food, tv, etc. but we always got along well. Moving in with her has been awesome. We don't ever fight, we share, nothing gets broken. We both are so happy it turned out so well after having awful roomates freshmen year. Although she is the messy one of the apt

I would say you would be better to live with some people you know and aren't exactly alike so you guy's dont bother each other too much. Opposites attract.

What is the deal with people fighting with all of their roomates? Are you guys not mature at all or what?
