How many roommates is not too many?

[MarikYo]

I want to rent an apartment in Downtown. I can't afford to pay rent on my own and it will be boring living on my own.

How to find good roommates and how many roommates is not too many? Any tips?

I'm doing a room mate situation with my best friend her man and my man. Its so much fun all the time and we even each other out. If I get annoyed with my best friend I have my man, and vice versa. Plus rent is so cheep for 4 people. Make sure you can handle every ones personalities. Try to learn everyones bad habits and set rules. For example : I'm a night owl, so I go online and keep my head phones in so that my music and stuff don't wake any one else up. My man smokes, he has to go on the porch to smoke or open the window in our room to smoke because I don't mind. My best friend wakes up extremely early so she showers at night and does her hair at night so that the blow dryer doesn't wake everyone up. My friends man Is so messy so before he goes to bed he has to clean up all his messes that he left around the house. The more you figure out in the beginning the better and have everything written down. Like we are each gonna pay _x_ for rent and __x__ for food and so on. Schedules for cleaning certain things and doing certain chores.

I would say, the main thing that determines how many, is too many...

is sleeping arrangements...

Right now, I am one of 4 girls, living in a 3 bedroom house...

I share a room with my bestie.. but.. its difficult when one of us has a guy over..

The more people there are living together, the hard it is for all of them to get along. I think one roommate is best but 2 can work too. I'd never wanna live with more than that though.

3 roommates living together is a good number. they can devide the rent and bills up pretty good. just be sure to let them know what chores need to be done.

out of the 3 of my friends that lived together one of them rarely washed the dishes which made the other 2 upset with him, some times I think I washed more dishes when I stayed over for the weekend than the one who rarely ever did.
