Thinking about moving somewhere new and wondering if you should get a roommate? It’s a decision that can take some thought. Is it better to share with a roomie or to live alone? It’s a tricky question to answer and, to be totally honest, it’s mainly down to personal preference combined with your specific circumstances.
I’ve seen both sides of the proverbial coin. I’ve found and lived with roommates and I’ve lived alone. I can confirm that both setups have their fair share of pros and cons. On the one hand, it’s obvi great living with your pals, especially if you're moving into your first place. On the other hand, privacy can be non-existent when you share.
