In many big cities, having a roommate is a must-have when choosing an apartment that will work the best for you. You won’t be able to afford much, in a nice area at least and with the amenities that you want, if you do not bring along someone, or maybe a few people, to ensure that you will be able to split the costs and afford a space that is all your own. But you need to carefully consider the roommate experience a bit and make sure that you are prepared for some of the realities of that decision before you decide on anything. 

One thing to consider is how you like to keep your space. If you are someone who doesn’t like to keep things too clean and you move in with a neat freak, or you are a neat freak and you move in with a slob, then you are going to both be miserable and not like the new living arrangement. You need to consider this ahead of time to see if there will be some compatibility issues here. 

The way that you like to keep the space you live in, both private and shared, needs to be in sync with your roommate. If you are someone who just can’t sleep until you have it all organized and put away at the end of the evening or you are someone who hasn’t seen the floor for months, consider this when you are looking for someone who will be a great roommate for you. 

While a lot of different personalities can work together and have a good roommate relationship, a roommate situation is going to work the best from the start if both parties are able to handle the occasional mess and are willing to work together and come up with a compromise. If you are not someone who is willing to compromise much on anything, then a roommate is probably not the best decision for you to go with.
