Living with Roommates vs Living Alone (Advice)
Hi all!
I am debating living alone in a studio/1bedroom versus finding roommates online.
I've had roommates for the past 7 years and am comfortable sharing a space with people; however, since Houston will be a new city for me and I don't know anyone, I'm a bit nervous about living with complete strangers as well. My main reason for considering roommates is because I won't be lonely and I'd feel safer coming home to other people. What is your personal advice? Do you think it's better to live with roommates or is it safe to live alone in Houston?
| Pros of Living Alone | Pros of Living with Roommates |
|---|---|
| -personal space/independence | – company and possibility of new friends |
| – less risk of COVID | – won't be lonely in new city |
| – easier to find an apartment close to work | – safety in numbers |
| – don't have to worry about stranger danger in my home lol | – lower cost since rent will be split |
