How To Find A RoommateHow to find a roommate.  A roommate is the one with whom you share an apartment, dorm or condo. To select a roommate who can cooperate and whose habits and interests match with you is not always easy or possible. You may not like some of his or her habits and he also may not like some of yours. Here are some tips, which will help you to find a roommate.

Need for a roommate

First, you have to think about the reason for having a roommate. In addition, you need to think about what type of person with whom you want to live.   Whether the roommate is a college friend or childhood friend or a complete stranger.

Temperament

Your temperament should match with your roommate you have chosen. If you want to be social but your roommate does not or vice versa, in such a case, there can be conflict. So choose the roommate whose temperament matches yours.

Schedule

You must share your schedule and know about the schedule of the other to be a roommate. Depending on your compatibility, you may want a schedule that is similar or you may want a schedule that is the opposite.  It is up to both roommates to be considerate of the other when dealing with schedules.

Rent Share

You will have to make sure that the roommate will share the rent and other expenses. It is advisable to not select a roommate that already owes you money.

Cleanliness

If you love cleanliness and want your room and apartment should always be clean, then choose someone that shares that belief.  There are many people who do not mind if the room is little dirty or everything is spread here and there and makes the room messy.  The cleanliness of the residence is something that should be discussed.

Communication

You and your roommate should have good communication, as this will create a good relationship between both of you.  In order to maintain the room, proper communication should be there and the responsibilities should be shared between you and your roommate. It may sometimes happen that you or your roommate is unable to meet with a specific responsibility or task, good communication will allow the other to know and assist if needed or at least understand.

Interests

If your interests match with your roommate then there is a better chance of a compatible relationship between both of you. You may love to watch movies, play games, listen to songs or reading books, and if the roommate also has same types of interests, then you will enjoy his company and both of you can share your experiences regarding them.

These are the tips to find a roommate with whom you can live for a long time.
