Should I choose a roomate who's very different from me?

Choose the Perfect Roommate

It's said that opposites attract, but that's not always the case when it comes to roommates. Sometimes roommates who are too different simply get on each other's nerves. Think carefully before you choose a roommate. Butting heads with another person can make home seem anything but homey.

Putting time and thought into considering the type of person you want for a roommate could save you frustration in the future. Consider whether you want a smoker or non-smoker, carefree party person, or someone more mellow. Be upfront with potential roommates during the interview process. Be clear about what you desire in a roommate and where you are willing to compromise.
