These setups help you share costs while creating a found family. You’ll connect with people who get the challenge of balancing study sessions and social life. The perks include real adult features like in-unit laundry, so no more hoarding quarters. Plus, there are full kitchens for those TikTok recipe tries, even if you end up ordering DoorDash anyway.
