any on one condition: balance of alone time and yap time
@Waxenthrone
I want a roommate that’s an introvert like me, no party’s, no unexpected visits and a chill dude to hang out with
@The_InsomniacBuilder
As a person who does his best to avoid socialising, Zero is absolutely perfect.
@jackofalltrades2175
One to two is perfect for me honestly. You can have a little bit of a nicer apartment because you're splitting the cost 2 or 3 ways and you get instant friends... you simply have to be quick and straight to the point at some ground rules when you meet the people and/or start living together
@potato_head0103
One or zero is probably best for me because i dont like being around too many people but also dont prefer being alone the whole time but enjoys it.
@ncelysium1
Personally, I prefer one single roommate so I can start socializing and get to know people better and just to chill and talk
@Number1JeffLover
Honestly I’m a introvert but I enjoy a extrovert that can keep me in the loop
@8bitwill
2 is sweet, because there is company, there is not too many people, and other ppl can manage different stuff.😊
@pigeonsyndrome2249
3rd year college student who spent a year in a pension with four other people and has lived alone since. The first week I was very comfortable about having a "mini community". By the end of the first semester two of my roommates hated my ass because I got drunk once three months prior. Hooked up with one of the roommates I was on speaking terms with and just ruined the vibe. The other one wasn't awkward to be around but we just didn't have much in common. Moral: it's 50/50 on whether your roommates are on the same wavelength as you. I'm quite an introvert but I was more outgoing than most of them and it led to me not being able to have friends over and having to crash at my friends' houses when I stayed out late. One of these friends on the other hand shared a house with 10 other people and even though he had some issues he's tight-knit with most of his previous roommates On the other hand one of the things I miss about having roommates is splitting costs. Just my rent doubled when I moved out, my overall living expenses probably tripled or quadrupled and I miss not having straight up food insecurity
@fast-h8v
2 cuz i feel like 1 might get kinda boring and even annoying, 2 js feels like the sweet spot
@manipulan
im choosing 0 by default, it will always be the best overall for mental health and i like my space quiet and private.
@JustACactus616
I feel like two roommates (three in total) is the perfect number, but there’s usually gonna be a third wheel to some extent
@akimarii4565
As someone who didn't have a roommate, it was the best decision I made because I'm not at the dorm to make friends, I'm there to be comfortable while getting my degree + peace and quiet + privacy + never have to worry about my food disappearing 😄

Currently living with 3 roomies in a 2-bedroom apartment. We're mostly introverts/ambiverts, so we can get social time and peace and quiet if we want. It's so SO important to talk about living habits and set rules early on, or there will be problems. I also got assigned to and lived with both one and two roommates in a shoebox freshman dorm, but that was more a game of ignoring each other since we weren't friends. If you end up with people you get along with and have similar habits, having more roommates can be wonderful. Wouldn't trade mine for just about anything!

Indian Hostel Student Here , 1.We often have 5 to 10 students cramped in a small room. 2.The number of beds in each room is always less than the number of students. 3.The space is very, very less. 4.Most of our college classes & Hostels don't have an option to choose the number of classmates or roommates. It's just set default by the institute, So you guys are literally having fun.

Having three roommates as an introvert was almost the perfect choice for me. My roommates are my closest friends at college, and they are more extroverted than me, so they make me interact with people (which is good; I could spend a whole day just reading a book and be completely happy). As an introvert, I’ve realized that having human interaction outside of just work or school is important for mental health, so I’m happy my roommates have people over pretty consistently. :)
@loveasterdrian3342
I have 3 roommates and we are all clean and quiet except when we all decide to do stuff together or have an event of some kind. Honestly the best
@DreamyHaze02
My cousin had 4 roommates for so long, he recently got a place all to himself at the age of 30! Happy for bro, he deserves some peace 😭
@DG_2725
No roommates is usually the best. Especially for someone who is not super outgoing or just wants privacy. Roommates are cool for like the first week and then you’ll usually end up not liking or hating them for whatever reason like one doesn’t carry their weight in cleaning or they stink and don’t do laundry. No late night parties to deal with or awkward encounters with random strangers in the night. Nonetheless, I’d most likely go with no roommate, even if I had my best friend. The only time this would be different is if I am placed in a difficult situation and prefer the company.
