So what is it like to live in a shared apartment?
Helping each other out, getting to know each other – roommate-living sounds pretty nice! These are some examples of Koas tenants who have lived in a shared apartment (translated from Finnish):
“Living has been pretty easy the last couple of years. From the point of view of studying, it’s really nice when it’s cheaper and you don’t have to live there alone, it makes you feel safer.”
“Most of the time, living was peaceful because my roommate spent a large part of the week in their hometown. I almost wished I could see and get to know them better.”
“If the key happens to be forgotten inside, the roommate can open the door, and that has happened a couple of times.”
“From the point of view of cleaning, it’s good that you can share a few shifts and who will vacuum next week, etc. There will be a bit [more] cleaning.”
“I have no complaints about living in a shared apartment. The cleaning went well and sometimes we agreed by message about bigger household chores, such as unfreezing the freezer. I would have stayed longer, but in the end I was offered a studio apartment.”
Share your story
We want to hear your experiences about living in a shared apartment! Tell a story about everyday life, a party or something in between. What funny incidents did you experience? Who cleaned the toilet? What was the best and what was the most challenging?
You can participate even if you no longer live in Koas. Send us your story by e-mail at digi@koas.fi. *The first ten participants will receive an ice cream gift voucher (value €3.70).
We share the experiences for everyone’s enjoyment in Koas communication and social media channels anonymously.
