2d-chris Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 you rent what ever you can for your first job, you have no choice to share/get a shit hole if that's all you can afford. Get a studio flat somewhere, 1 room with everything you need. My first apartment was utter dreadful, if u gota live in a shit area and a building thats about to fall down you will have to Quote
Pomperi Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 Didn't see this thread until now, 5 pages later Once again, big congrats, we're really happy to have you. I hope you'll find a good place to stay. Shared house isn't that bad, it all comes down to what kind of people you get to share with, and that's always a bit random since people come and go. I pay around £370 for my room, and it's a decent size room in a 4 room house with living room and a big garden. The cool thing about living near the science park though is that most tenants are young professionals, often with different nationalities. My worst case scenario so far was a Lithuanian guy who was really high and stayed up all night watching recorded live performances of a band called Earth Wind and Fire with the volume at max. When I got up for work the day after he was still downstairs watching, laughing at how funny their clothes were. I can ask around and see if there's anyone at work who's got a spare room, so that you can stay with frontier people and minimize the risk of getting utter weirdos. Quote
PogoP Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Posted April 10, 2011 Thanks Pontus! My mom loves Earth, Wind and Fire hahaha! Quote

2d-chris Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 Oh shiii I remember, my first 6 months working at Climax I lived in a bed and breakfast place, can actually be cheaper than your own place, giving you time to find a really nice place. It was something like 30 pounds a night, but you get free breakfast and don;t even have to tidy your room Quote

In two years in Sao Paulo I've lived under a bridge, inside an abandoned car, in a whorehouse, in a shoebox, in a subway station and in a parking lot. Most of my room mates consisted of crack addicts, transvestites and producers. Consider yourself lucky little man. Quote
