I'll be moving out of state to live with 2 other grad students that I haven't met yet. As the date gets closer (August), I realize we have a lot of things to work out.
- How do I approach the issue of random stuff we'll need in our apartment? Do most people do an every-roommate-for-themselves type of thing? (Pots & pans, shower curtains, dishes, etc.) Or do people usually talk about what they should split up before moving?
- What's a good way to ask if they'd be cool with my boyfriend staying at our place when he comes to visit? Even though it wouldn't be that often, I don't want to step on any toes.
- Our apartment is 3 BR/2 BA. Rent is $1100/month. How should we decide who gets the room with the master bath? What would be an appropriate rent division in that case?
- What are other important topics to discuss with your future roommates before you move in?
