cinchedwaist7 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I need your help deciding what apartment to get with my future roommate. We are both grad students, both get along extremely well, bleh bleh bleh and have 2 options: Option 1: $900 2 huge bedrooms kinda crappy carpet built in bookcase big dining room big front room fireplace front screened in patio back patio pretty yard I'll be saving alot of money Option 2: $525 2 small bedrooms very charming/quaint/cute small front room small kitchen small dining area pretty yard So basically, it is size vs. cost. ~$215 a month for rent sounds great but the place is small ~living in a huge place sounds nice but the rent is more expensive. Other factors: option 2 is within walking distance to bars and a pretty park Option 2 is across the street from a couple of our good friends Option 1 would be good for parties/social events (although we don't have too much time for such given that we are in grad school) in a few years when department funding may or may not be low, it would be nice to have a cheap place so we don't have to worry about $ as much. Have any of you guys lived in a small place w roomates? advice? we keep on going back and forth and cannot come to a conclusion! help...:confused: there is also the roommate factor. I have never had one b4 and neither has my girl. we get along very well. but do you think living in a big place will make us less likely to kill one another or does it even matter? thanks in advance for your help. and I cannot believe how big this girl's ass is amazing... but don't get too distracted, i still want advice dammit.

cinchedwaist7 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 ^^ point well taken. grad school has brought out the alcoholic in me. plus, more $$ for travel, visiting chicago as much as possible, clothes, supplies for fieldwork, etc....

Abracadabra Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 yeah, option 2 sounds like the best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some1 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 First of all that ass cant be real. Second how much room do you really need? Having a giant place is cool until you have to clean it up after a party. I lived in a huge house and small apt. I would frankly go with the option two. More cash in pocket easy to clean, room to fit all your basic needs. you dont have possibly too much space and not enough to do with it. The apt I am moving into is perfect 2 decent sized bedrooms upstairs, small living room, decent kitchen, patio. Way better than the massive house I was living in. However instead of it being haunted it has ghetto people with kids downstairs...I think they throw rocks at the ceiling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earmuffs Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 damn what city are you in that you can get a 2 bedroom for 525? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinchedwaist7 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 ^^ ugh. you don't want to know. a shitty little town in the middle of no where texas. moving from chicago to here has been quite the adjustment. there is also the roommate factor. I have never had one b4 and neither has my girl. we get along very well. but do you think living in a big place will make us less likely to kill one another or does it even matter? let me add this in the beginning post as wellllll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earmuffs Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 well if the 900 one is alot bigger i say go for that.. at least you are not paying 950 by yourself :cry2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BESK101 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 it's easy dude, option 2. if you and your roomie to be are destined to kill each other the size might not be the main issue, besides if he's driving you nuts it's cool to have bars, park, friends near by if you need to chill. Plus extra bread in the pocket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garden-hoe Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 if you and your roommate get into it, it won't matter how big your apartment is because it will not be big enough. i say go for option 2. save yourself some money. fuck throwing parties. your house gets trashed, the cops will probably be called (especially since you are in texas), and you'll spend just as much money on booze as you would if you lived in a smaller apartment but you'll be paying twice as much for rent.

MitchThe$nitch Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 go with option 2. rent money just slip, slip, slides away and you will never see it again. save that money for other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakV2.0 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 if you were willing to consider paying half of 900 for the bigger place, which is $450 then splash the extra 75 and rent the small place to yourself. no roomate / soze issues as its all yours/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezpot Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 What's the square footage on both? Smaller spaces tend to get dirty and cluttered. Noise travels in a small place and if you guys need study time it could be distracting. I prefer bigger living spaces especially with roomies.
