You’re considering moving out. You’ve heard all the great party times your friends have had once they move out of home, the great memories they share with their flatmates and hey, now their even best friends with their flatmates. You’ve also most likely have heard many horror stories before about living with flatmates not working out, whether it’d be money, arguments, personality clashes and various other reasons.<\/p>

Despite the positive and negatives experiences you will encounter, there is no better feeling (or though sometimes scary) or experience than moving out of home. Whilst experience of living out of home is an incredible experience, living with flatmates makes it a better<\/strong> experience. You will have the time of your life.

5. They force you to grow up<\/h3>

Loving with someone else, not by yourself or lving at home, will snap you out of your olf habits. You won’t be a great flatmate if you still drink straight from the milk bottle out of the fridge (man I hate when my roommate does that).<\/p>
