Do you prefer living with a roommate or solo?
I'm mostly looking for the opinions of people in their low to mid 20s here, but what are your preferences? I lived in houses with groups of people in college and the social aspect was definitely a positive, but I can see how having privacy would be nice when working a job. I also think having a solo would be nice for having girls over. Living alone would also be a bit more expensive, but after working at home and saving a lot of money during COVID, I'm not overly concerned about this
I lived by myself for 6 months before my (now) wife and I moved in together. I quite liked it, it was nice to have the peace and quiet. I’m also very introverted. I do prefer living with my wife, but besides her I’d rather live alone than with a roommate, even if it was my friend. I’d like to have friends as neighbors, that would be a lot of fun, but probably not roommates.
Also for reference- I get tired after hanging out with friends or family. I’m very much on the far side of being introverted, despite being outgoing.
Introverted here as well. Second the idea of having friends as neighbors, but not interested in roommates. I would make an exception for a family member like a brother or cousin, and obviously a wife, but that's it.
This perfectly describes myself too. I don’t have a roommate anymore, so my apartment is much cleaner and nothing is out of place, but I will say with WFH it would be nice to have someone else around since only talking to people over Teams/Zoom is getting old fast.
As a textbook extrovert, especially upon graduating I loved having roommates. I basically lived in a frathouse in LES where all my neighboring apartments were the same crowd. That being said, I eventually moved to a place by myself which I found I enjoyed a lot and accessed my inner introvert to get away from the hubbub of having people around you literally 24/7. I think depending on the person you are you develop differently and realize pleasures of living styles as you mature with age and experience. I now live with my gf and love it
Tried both and now living with friends. I think is really up to you and your personality
to be honest, i really miss living alone even if there's the trade off as you spend way more (at least here in London).. but is all about your utility function, isn't it?
I loved having everything clean, and how I left it. Having no stress on where and what time use common areas or even having total freedom in brining girls to my place
this is why at the end of this tenancy contract i will go living alone again
Solo...so much more in control of your own destiny (sleeping, having people over, not having people over, how the apartment looks in general).
That said my last roommate was great and it was nice to have someone to do stuff with whenever, but would still choose solo.
