Smart people
Boy, you really think pretty highly of yourself, don't you? Are you 100% sure you're fit to have clicked on that?
Well, as long as you've made it this far: I need to ask a question of my peeps on here. Currently I'm starting to gear up to look for a place to move out for the end of this month (It's October, in case you were wondering. Ever heard of a calendar???) I want to live either in the d/t area, or just outside of d/t on the 98 B-line bus route (which takes me to work). I know, sounds expensive, but actually with the coin I'm making, and my relative lack of other expenses, I can pull it off pretty easily. Which doesn't mean that cost isn't obviously going to factor into my decision. Though I could see myself renting a 2 bedroom with the right roommate (no small task, finding "the right roommate"), I'm also open to the idea of living in my own place for the first time. Well, it would technically be the first time.. there have been times in the past where my roommates were so absent that I might as well have been on my own... What I'm mainly wondering about is the difference in lifestyle between having a 1 bedroom and a studio apartment. Has anyone ever lived in a studio before? What are the pros and cons? While we're at it, if anyone has any leads feel free to post them here. Love Dave

Go to the area you want to live and look for signs. A lot of the good places don't advertise in the paper or on line and just put up a sign. I used to live in the Harley House (1230 Nelson) and it was a great building that I would recomend for sure.

i used to live alone in a one bedroom suite. i used the bedroom for storage and had my couch, coffee table, bookshelf, dresser and bed in the living room. i did not like sleeping in the bedroom for some reason, i just felt that my space was too big for one person.
go for the bach!

girlfriend lives in a studio basement suite and it's really not too bad if you aren't the type of person to like to bring guests home (that you aren't humping at least). Basically you're just forgoing your bedroom and a little less storage space but you can position a nice media cocoon and never really have to leave your bed when you're at home. So long as you're not a packrat or have a ton of furniture it's pretty decent (depending on layout and size). A studio apt is perfect if you're not really a homebody and like to go out a lot. It's also great if you like to spend most of your time at home alone.
1 bedroom is deifnitely more condusive to have people over just cause you can hide all your clothes and junk in your bedroom and have seperate space for sitting and chilling. Depends on how much you need your sleeping space and living room space to be seperate i guess..

The only thing that I hated about a Bachelor, was that EVERYONE that came into my house made themselves comfy on my bed.
If you get a bachelor, try to find one with a nook so that you can possibly fashion it into a one bedroom with a curtain or screen if that sort of thing makes you uncomfortable.
