Where I went in Aberdeen, each floot had a 6 small, private bedrooms, and a shared, combined kitchen/lounge area (which was also pretty small).
I would have absolutely hated it if I'd had to share a bedroom with someone else! Aside from generally wanting my own space with privacy, how the hell is that supposed to work when you're bringing sexual partners back to your room?!
- DennisP 5y agoIf you come home and find a handwritten sign on your bedroom door, you sleep in that lounge area. Aside from that, you either work out an arrangement or everybody gets comfortable with one roommate and their partner having sex as quietly as possible under the covers while the other tries to sleep.
- GordonS 5y agoThat's crazy - you'd end up taking it in turns sleeping in the lounge every other night! Plus the lounge is supposed to be for everyone to use, not as a dormitory for those exiled from their own rooms!
- DennisP 5y agoIt wasn't that bad. The sign was just for surprise situations. Everybody knew that if you abused the sign, your roommate was entirely within their rights to just walk in. I did four years in shared rooms, and basically everybody figures out how to cooperate and work things out.
