A group of friends that moves to one of the apartments near the University of Alabama may all want to have somewhat of a communal lifestyle. That could mean sharing meals when possible, scheduling a weekly movie night, and working out together in the fitness center. If these roommates are all extroverts, they may relate to the adage “the more, the merrier.” Inviting others to dinner and movie night becomes the norm.
Financial Considerations
The roommate lifestyle at apartments near the University of Alabama is automatically somewhat communal from the start in regard to bill payments. The rent is split evenly, and so are any utility bills tenants are responsible for. Landlords commonly pick up the tab for the water utility, but renters might be responsible for heat and electricity.
Today’s students might be amused when considering that their parents, while in college, had to determine each roommate’s portion of the monthly phone bill. The long-distance section could include a long list of calls made by different individuals with varying amounts due.
Household Tasks
Roommates also have always needed to divide up household tasks, so everyone does their fair share. It’s a lesson in learning to be cooperative that not everybody has already practiced with their immediate family. Somebody might be allowed to skip a chore that he or she finds more tedious than the others do, but that person should pitch in more elsewhere.
