Advantages and disadvantages of students-only flatshares
In order to study, many students move to a new city, where they initially don’t know anybody. A flatshare of students helps to get to know new people and to make friends. Thus, flatshares are a kind of modern network. In a students-only flatshare people with a similar lifestyle live together. This makes cohabitation much easier: the flatmates can party together and understand when one of them can’t be addressed after a night of studying before an important exam.
For many students from abroad, the students-only flatshare is a chance to exchange with others and to improve their language skills. Regardless of the nationalities of the inhabitants, the main reason why living in flatshares is so popular is saving costs. Living in a flatshare is up to 35% cheaper than renting a single flat. This also depends on the size of the flatshare. The bigger the flat, the smaller the prize per square meter. This usually means that the more flatmates a flat is hosting, the less each one has to pay.
But life in a students-only flatshare isn’t always problem-free. Everyone has to show consideration for the others and make compromises. It is difficult when one resident has a different sense of cleanliness than his flatmates, for example. Or when one flatmate needs silence for studying and another one invites fellow students. If you live in a flatshare you need to be able to overlook the dirty pan in the sink or the not emptied washing machine.
