housemate

Pris Liora, 40, who was looking for someone to rent the extra room in her Koreatown apartment, didn’t prepare any questions for potential housemates, saying she just wanted to do a vibe check.

The rush to find housemates – and a place to live – for the next academic year has long been a source of worry for first-year students.

It can be hard to access, unpractical or feel embarrassing if people are worried about the possibility of parents or housemates finding the medication.

Ella and her three housemates split the rent of £3,000 a month dependant on the size of their bedrooms, but their home does not have a living room.

Some people have enough money, but travel often and want a housemate for oversight.
