Living Together During College

I really disagree with ranza’s last paragraph. It sounds like a highly idealized college thing that isn’t a reality for many of us. What are we going to do living together? Have pizza parties and do each other’s face masks?

I actually did live with my best college friend as well as my then-boyfriend. College best friend and I lived together from second semester freshman year through graduation.

Now I live with my best friend of over 10 years and I’m a few years post-grad. (Yes, he lives with my spouse and me.)

College isn’t the end of the time to do anything. You can still live with close friends. Since buying my own house, I’ve had several close friends live with me as they transition into other points in their lives. But then again, I’m not someone who particularly likes being around people all the time so not living with them was fine by me.

But you don’t want him to be your whole life now.

How is living with someone making them your whole life?

And I feel like living in a rundown apartment with your best friends is a college experience you don’t want to trade away.

I lived in enough run down places while growing up… there’s really nothing all that special about it and it pretty much sucks. If I wanted to live in a run down apartment with my friends, I wouldn’t have gone to college.
