I can go either way really. I would try and get a feel for anyone potential roomies first:
-try and meet them beforehand, go out to lunch with them or some other sort of social activity
-see if you can see them in their current living situation (this is huge and will give you an excellent idea of what to expect)
-never agree to live with someone because you're in a pinch

I'm about to move in with my best mate, I can see problems on the horizon, mainly involving girlfriends.

- Personally,I'd advise against moving in with best mates - they're the last people you want stupid arguments with.Nairn
- depends how good friends you are and if yous are on the same wavelength about shit23kon
- i shared a flat with a good mate for about 6+ years, before that with a mate from college for 2+ years and currently sharing with workmate23kon
- ...sharing with workmate23kon
- never had any stupid arguements or anything. depends on how uptight or how much little things piss u off23kon

My flat mate is a un-reasonable, rude, potentially violent, hypocrytical, bill-dodging, wannabe-Scot and I'm stuck with him for another 6 months. Be careful who you move in with.

Pros are boring.
Move in with the convicts - better drug connections.
