Tips to Choose the Right Roommate

Let me share some tips to choose a roommate for those who are living in Philadelphia Apartments. It is pleasures to see someone’s face that we wants to see every day in the morning and last at night. One can select such roommate using some of these tips I mention here:
  • Choose a roommate who is roughly as clean or as messy as you are. Because neat goes with neat, and messy goes with messy.
  • Do not choose a person for likeability but select for his/her compatibility. Friends may not always become the best roommates. You see your friends on a limited basis; so neither of you has to deal regularly with each other's habits. This would change once you became roommates, and your friendship could be strained as a result.
  • Choose the one who can discuss with you in financial matters. Because, the common aspects of splits between roommates arises by financial matters.
  • Have clear preferences on inviting friends over. If you don’t like having your roommate's friends over all the time or letting friends sleep on the couch, it will be a source of tension.
  • Discuss on how late or early you go to bed and how sound of a sleeper you are. Do you mind it if your roommate talking loudly late in the night? Do you mind having an early-to-bed roommate who always shouting to turn down lights, TV?
Make sure you're especially honest about your lifestyle preferences when discussing rooming with a friend.
