Roommates are a great way to lower your living expenses, however, finding a roommate you can live with can be somewhat daunting. The following steps can help you find a roommate who is easy to live with and fiscally responsible too!

Some questions to consider when choosing a roommate:

• Are you a morning person or a night owl?
• What kind of music do you like?
• Do you party or do you like relaxing down time?
• What kind of people does your roommate hang out with?
• Do you like the same sports teams?
• How do you feel about visitors?
• Are you in a serious relationship? Are they?
• Do you share the same ideas about cleanliness?
• What are your hobbies? (If you play a musical instrument, for example, this information is a need to know for any potential roommate.)
