When you are going to study in a big city you have to
leave your parents’ house, so what can you do? There are maybe three possible
options: taking the bus every day, living in a flat with someone or staying in
a youth residence. People use to say that a flat is the best way to enjoy the
university life, but is it right?
In my opinion, when you are in the same flat as your
friends there appear some problems. At the beginning everybody is excited though
when you know your flatmates well, you can discover that they are totally different
from you. We always see their mistakes; obviously we won’t say what we forget
to do. They don’t usually wash their pieces of cutlery and they leave all the
lights on.
Well, apart from that, you have fun with your
flatmates, it’s an amazing experience! In addition, you can know your limits
and what chores you do correctly. It helps you to learn how to live together
with the less possible problems.
Finally, it’s an important decision with who you want
to live. When you find the answer, it’s a good idea to have a continuous clean
shift because all of you should take part in the house chores.
To sup um, it’s
a good idea to share a flat with your friends but always you have to respect
the privacy of the rest. Remember that everyone wants their personal space and,
of course, everybody has to participate cleaning.
