@pony never have had a flatmate in my life, but coming to Graz I’ve decided to have some just because I didn’t know the country nor city at all and my family wisely advised me to live with somebody who does, especially when my stay on a scholarship is temporary. I even toured separate apartments, but still resigned from this idea, surely not for financial reasons - they were comparable in prices. But then I have one in Warsaw waiting for me anyway.
@pony wait so does it mean you were living with somebody, right? I’ve left my family flat slightly before 19 but I’ve been living either alone or with a boyfriend and for some time it was still a lot of time spent with family anyway.
@josie as a kid, i had a shared room with my brother the entire time and could not do anything about it, then it was like dorms and shared flats where an entire room was not really available
