Keep your friends close and your housemates closer.
A guide to choosing flatmates in Uni.

Chose wisely from the following:

Friends-

Pro's: your mates, its like the party never ends!

Cons: although your friends would never steal from you, they will assume that a BFF status gives the the right to borrow, clothes food and lovers without asking. Also there is a good chance they will no longer be your friends once they assume part responsibility for the bills.


People with cool stuff.

Pro's: cool stuff

Cons: If people need to bribe others into living with them with big TVs/ guitar hero/ massive porn stash, its safe to assume that they are massive wankers.

Clean freaks.

Pros: your house will be clean

cons: They will expect you to be as clean as them and nag you to death. This can be as annoying as living in filth with the added pain of incessant tidying.

Crusties

Pros: Most laid back people ever, if you have annoying personal habits you can guarantee they don't give one iota of a shit.

cons: Their room in halls was a biohazard , rotting food, old pizza boxes, overflowing ashtrays. Now Imagine this person will be using your kitchen and bathroom.

Drug users/alcoholics.

Pros: 24/7 party atmosphere, constant supply of recreational substances. Reputation for being one of the cool kids by association (take that everyone at school!).

Cons: If you partake less than them you will be the one paying all the bills. Impossible to get any work done, and you will have to deal with hungover/ coming down hangers on on a daily basis. They will also tun into a crustie after about 4 weeks. After 8 weeks expect to get evicted..by the police.


People from a completely different course to you-

Pros: a science type living with arty types and vice versa will have alot to talk about. you will meet new people and find out interesting things.

Cons: you will either be bored to death by LAN parties full of spazmanoids or reduced to teeth grinding rage by snooty Nathan Barleys going on about 'postmodern themes' in daytime TV. The fact that you will have grossly different lecture timetables and sleeping patterns will lead to insomnia driven murders.

Rugby players

Pros: If you ever wanted to live inside a copy of nuts magazine this will be a dream come true.

Cons: If that sounds bad then you will be pleased to know that it is far far worse than you could imagine.

remember that your not perfect so you have to take what you can get. Just lock your doors when you go out and you will be fine.
