What type of flatmate are you?

Every flatmate is different...but which one are you?

One of the best things about student life is living with a random bunch of people who could turn into your besties. Each student flat has its stereotypes from the one who insists on having a cleaning rota to the night owl who never sees the light of day. 

All you need to do is choose an answer from 1-5 for each question below to find out which one you are...

What's your biggest pet peeve? 

1. Dirty dishes in the sink, I'm not doing them again 🙄
2. Killing my vibe!
3. Someone eating my food 😠
4. Too much noise, people are trying to sleep you know!
5. Being too nosy - mind your business 

What does your ideal Friday night look like?

1. Getting organised so I can enjoy the weekend
2. Grab my friends, get the drinks flowing, dance the night away🕺🏽
3. PJs on, stock up on snacks and start a movie marathon
4. Board game night with friends and an early night 🎲
5. Who knows? I'll see where the night takes me...

What is your housework routine? 

1. Deep clean around the entire flat every week, we've got to stay on top of things! 
2. Do enough to get by without anyone noticing you have done the bare minimum 🤫
3. Housework? What's that? 
4. Get the whole flat to pitch in, fairness is key!
5. I'll look after my own cleaning

Other housemates come to you for?

1. Life coaching 💪
2. A good time, I never disappoint!
3. Movie and music recommendations 🎵
4. Advice, support and a shoulder to cry on 
5. The hidden gems in the city

What vibe is your bedroom?

1. Minimalistic - the less clutter the better
2. Random, I don't know where anything is most of the time 🤷🏻‍♀️
3. Cosy, I'm a sucker for fluffy throws and low lighting
4. Simple but meaningful, family photos and plants 🪴
5. Edgy - think wall hangings, fairy lights and band posters

What type of person are you on a night out?

1. Always inspecting the glasses for lipstick marks
2. The bad influence - get the shots in! 🍾
3. I'd rather be in the flat...
4. The guardian who looks after everyone else
5. The one who disappears and isn't seen until the next day 👀

If you have an issue with another flatmate, how would you resolve it?

1. Confront them in the group chat
2. Start a group chat with the other flatmates to complain
3. Ignore it, I don't have the energy to argue 
4. Talk it out calmly, shouting isn't going to get us anywhere
5. I avoid drama at all costs! 

It's time to find out what type of flatmate you are! If you mostly answered...

1: THE CLEAN FREAK

Mrs. Hinch is that you? You know all of the tips and tricks to keep your flat spotless, even if it means taking on some of your flatmates' chores too. Being so organised means that you have become the flat's life coach, everyone comes to you when they need to get their life in order and you love it. Your flatmates might see you as a bit uptight sometimes but the flat would definitely smell like cheesy feet without you! 

2: THE PARTY ANIMAL

You're probably the type of flatmate who decorates your windowsill with empty bottles as reminders of of all of those crazy house parties and club nights. You might be known as the life of every party but you've also earned the title of the bad influence. If others are looking to let their hair down you're their go-to choice, you know all of the hottest clubs and have memorised all of the cheapest drink deals. It might be a good idea to try and see a bit more daylight though...

3: THE COUCH POTATO

You are the embodiment of the motto 'go with the flow'. Cosy nights in and minding your own business is the life for you. You're a clean freak's worst nightmare, they don't know whether you leave your rubbish everywhere to actively annoy them or whether you simply don't realise how lazy you are. Your flatmates view you as the flat baby, you love when others cook for you as it's the only time you get a home-cooked meal - your Uber Eats history is definitely longer than your attention span. You prefer to take life easy...but that coursework isn't going to write itself! 

4: THE PEACE KEEPER

Every flat has a parental figure and if that is none of your other flatmates then it's definitely you. You can be a little bossy sometimes but somehow you manage to keep everyone in line, even the party animal listens to you! Everyone comes to you for advice and you love it, even if they're knocking on your door at 3am. You give the best hugs and make the flat seem like a home away from home. You're 100% everyone's favourite flatmate. Without you, the flat would be chaos! 



5: THE ENIGMA

As a closed book, you're a charming mystery who keeps your flatmates guessing. You might have been seen on your first day but seem to disappear out of thin air. The best thing is that you always avoid the drama. You live for the freedom of student life and definitely make the most of not having to tell anyone your every move. Where do you go? What do you do? Your flatmates will never know...

Which stereotypes do your flatmates relate to?
