Most students decide to share a flat with another
student when they go to University, which could have both advantages and
disadvantages.
The most important benefit is the economic one: it
costs much less than paying the rent and the bills alone. Its supporters also
argue that it's important to learn to get along with the others because we will
spend most of our time with other people. They add that your housemate might
turn out to be a friend with whom you can talk and share experiences, thus not
feeling alone.
On the other hand, opponents claim that living with
another person implies more restrictions as you have to make decisions
concerning the flat with your flatmate and you must be careful so as not to
bother him/her. Moreover, cohabitation usually leads to conflicts regarding to
paying the bills, inviting friends and doing the cleaning because it's not easy
to find someone to share the same rules with.
All things considered, I prefer sharing a flat not
only for economic reasons, but also because I'm aware that living with other
people is something all adults should learn.
