AFS students recently shared their thoughts on who makes the best
housemates and offered advice on how to get on living with others.
Hundreds of you completed the survey and the results showed that the most
popular housemates are usually studying Accounting, Art or Business, with
Law students fairing as the least popular. However, this differs
significantly between male and female students, with males more like to
have a favourite housemate who studies Chemistry or Computer Science.
Overall, most students tend to have three housemates, however, first year
students are more likely to have up to seven house mates, while third and
fourth year students are significantly more likely to live with just one
person. 21% of females compared to 14% of males have more than five
housemates.
More than a third (39%) of students said they go out or socialise as a
house two or more times a week, which students also repeatedly mentioned as
an important factor when forming good relationships with fellow students.
Suggestions included making time for socialising as housemates, especially
having meals together and sticking to plans, which helps students to bond
with one another and promote a better ‘family’ environment.
Other top tips from students who learnt from their own experiences include:
- Make an effort to get to know prospective housemates before moving in
together
- Be open about each other’s expectations
- Solve problems/issues straight away
- Save money/budget more carefully
Students also stated that establishing golden rules regarding cleaning and
responsibilities will stand students in good stead for trouble-free living.

Is staying on trend more important than standing against morally corrupt branding?
Our recent survey found that despite more people valuing ‘design and popularity’ over ‘brand morals’, 75% of the respondents stated that they would |
