Roommates.

December 14th, 2007 by mike d. in Quickthoughts

How many people have you shared an apartment or residence with? It’s considered a full share if it is your primary residence for at least 7 weeks.

Me? 24 I think.

All family for me, and that makes 16.

Family/extended family - 6
College - 6
Post College - 5

Grand total: 17

I guess if you were counting living with the same person at multiple times it would raise my number a little. For example, I lived with my friend Jen in college, then in a new place with her after college, and currently she is living with me again in a different place.

How many different residencies have people had?

I’ve had five residences.

Fun question! It gets interesting when you consider the distinction between roommates, suitemates, and housemates. For college roommates, a # denotes one semester where we shared a bedroom. A * denotes a semester where she shared living spaces (kitchen/bathroom/living room). In Australia, 10 of us shared a flat with 10 individual bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a large kitchen/living space.

College (Kansas, 9 semesters):
Joe J ##

Jose #**

Matt **
Ryan **
Sean **
Peter **

College (Australia, 1 semester):
Paul *
Ayako *
Karla *
Samara *
Kurt *
Andreas *
Catherine *
Tegan *
Amanda *

Post-College
Joe (61 weeks, current)
Matt (57 weeks, current)

That’s a total of 23 for me.

I don’t remember putting a minus sign, but it is true that she moved out of our suite possibly before the 7 week cutoff point

KURT - I’m glad you put Theresa (the vegetarian). That designation helped me distinguish who exactly you were talking about. My first thought was, huh? Did I live with Kurt? How come I don’t remember this? And then I saw the veggie info and I was like OOOOHHHH, that’s not me.

Let’s see:
pre-college: 3
undergrad: 15
grad: 5

Total: 23
