<p>so 2 friends want to get an apartment with me. problem is they like to party, etc. and i don’t. but, then again, i’m excited to be rooming with friends, but at the same time, i kind of want to say no (haven’t given an answer yet.)</p>
<p>i was actually looking for a 1 br apartment, since i saw, on craigslist, that i would pretty much be paying the same price as the 3 br apartment that they want to get if we split it. and a 1 br would be pretty good, i could do anything i want.</p>
<p>any advice? i know there are tons of threads that have just been posted on this, but i guess mine is more specific to my situation. i want to say yes, because (yes believe it or not), i didn’t have very good friends in high school and i have finally found some cool people who want to include me in stuff (sounds lame, i know lol), and if i say no, i don’t want them to think i’m weird or anything (probably won’t but yeah). </p>
<p>but i want to say no, because i know they like to party and people would be hanging out int he apartment a lot. so i’m not sure what to do at this point haha.</p>
<p>Sure, they like to party, but are they reasonable in putting time into studying? That could be a make or break point because the “disturbances” could come at times where you aren’t hardcore studying (and maybe you go out with them if you so choose). Just consider how much and the timing through the semester they party at. </p>
<p>Also, the location of the 3 br vs the 1 br is probably a lot different if the prices are the same for you individually. So just because the price is the same, the distance to campus should be a factor.</p>
<p>They like to party, but are they considerate? I’m sure they know you aren’t the biggest partier since they’re your friends, and they seem to like you since they are inviting you to room with them. Maybe just talk it out with them - remind them that you don’t want it to be too loud all the time, find out if you’ll be in a single or a double, etc.</p>
<p>You don’t have to party with them just because you’re living with them, and I’m sure they’ll understand that completely. I say go for it!</p>
<p>Yeah, if they party and u don’t, will they be respectful towards you? Like ask them to stay over on a day that they go out and party and see if they will be very quiet when they come in or something. u gotta test ur friends! yaddaadaa mean? </p>
<p>and also, u should try to go out with them sometime. u may like it. u don’t have to drink, but just go socialize. and i think u should take the opportunity to live with them especially if that’s what happened in highschool and no it’s not lame : ]</p>
