Can't live without them. There are many pros and cons to getting a roommate. Let’s take a look at just a few: PROS:

  • Save money! In many instances it is definitely cheaper to split rent for a two bedroom than it is to pay for a one bedroom on your own.

  • Divide up the chores! Who wants to have to clean an apartment all by themselves? Having a roommate helps because you can split up the work.

  • You won’t be lonely! It’s nice having someone else in the house to hang out with.

CONS:

  • Lack of privacy! Living with someone else definitely means you can’t wander around the house in your underwear.

  • Less quiet! People make noises, some louder than others, and you’d have to get used to the weird noises your roommate might make.

  • They could be messy! While a roommate will help you clean, they will also help you make a mess and you’ll have to be okay with other people’s messes.

So, now that you've read them do you know if you are you ready to live with a roommate? Take our quiz and find out! No matter what you choose, a one bedroom for just you or a two bedroom for you and a roomie, Camden has apartments for rent to meet your lifestyle!  Read more about getting along with your roommate here.
