Once you have resolved these issues one of the most prominent but easily ignored question comes “Will I be able to adjust with everyone?” People who have ever lived with roommates will definitely agree that this is a very critical decision one should make when he/she thinks of living with somebody. As the saying goes “Before you look for speck in other’s eyes, look at the log that is inside your eyes”. Definitely this is not meant to offend ourselves but before we start living with others we should carefully analyze our own behavior to see whether our actions & lifestyle could affect others. Once that is done we should look for roommates who are like-minded and share common values. Of course this does not mean that both should always agree over something.

In fact they should try to talk over & solve any matter that comes up before them during the course of their stay together. One should be careful so as to avoid situations (fighting over trivial issues, playing loud music on TV etc.) & habits (drinking, smoking etc.) that may bother the other person. Once you start living together you will develop mutual understanding & respect for each other. This will go a long way in deciding how long you can stay with that person and most importantly the amount of quality time spent together. You can choose to hang-out together sometimes or at least walk down to a nearest café for a cup of coffee once in a while. These little things help in forming a bond of friendship between room partners.
