roommate research
Do the minimum.
Know it all! Take charge!
100% settled on where to look for roommates? Where could you afford to live?
Are people seeking roommates like you? See how we rate roommate compatibility and advice on roommate matching. Your best roommate search must avoid the wrong roommates (or "roommates") including scams.
Living with roommates in emotional health means roommate agreements with roommate rules establishing boundaries upfront . . .
. . . instead of after feeling hurt or disrespected. Making sure you'll get along is a little like a prenup!

The following ongoing roommate research is separate, but will inform our roommate matching and the rest of the roommate-related information we post. Updates will be ongoing and posted here.
If you'd like to contribute, our brief questionnaire below does NOT collect contact information. No one will contact you as a result of submitting this particular form; we're not even collecting the possibility. This is strictly research.
It's 11 questions long, and past very basic demographic plus what would improve your roommate experience the most, it also asks for a ranking of the following common roommate complaints:
- disinfecting disagreements
- common areas covered in personal items
- prolonged personal presences of people not paying
- horrid kitchen hygiene; edibles exploded everywhere
- noise discord: tiptoe time vs. turn it up
- havoc on home furnishings
- smelling somebody from down the hall
- peeves regarding actual pets
- skimping on consensual shares / inflating consensual expenses
- personal security risks (suspicious characters, security codes in the street)
- derogatory or busybody toward the benign (your fashion choices or pizza toppings)
(Findings will appear here.)
