I just want to know is this just a common thing in your country/city.
As I want to move away from my family but i'm not making a lot money with my job, then i have to ask for a partner to rent the house together and share the expense, and maybe not so boring to live alone.
What do you think?

I'll graduate from university this July. so i can't live in dormitory any more and i don't want to live in it. maybe i'll rent an apartment with my classmate who'll work in my school. if she want to marry with her bf,i have to make another choice.

when i was away for my family because my work is to far at home, i prefer to rent haouse together with someone i dont know so that not to expence to much of your salary, we share for paying houses, electricity, water, and all bills, but we did not share for food.But sometimes we did some understanding to each other.And its difficult to trust somebody you dont know well.

This is becoming common now. There are sites for co-renting in France and the UK that you can find the most suitable for you.
They are usually big furnished houses that get unexpensive when divided by 3 or 4.
In Brazil, we had this situation with people from work, we were all colegues just arrived in town, so we formed groups of 3, 4 or sometimes 5 to share apartments.
In Spain it's common to rent rooms in people's house but not always you have access to the kitchen or living room.
Anyway it is always easier to find someone that wants to share an apartment or to have one and look for partners.
Work and universities are the best places to find someone. Do not write out internet cafes.

Hello kay1230
I don't really like stranger. But we have to do that for spend a less money for apartment. I think you should know your flatmate, at least know her/him a little, her personality and their past.
And you must learn to know them more after you share apartment with them.
That is not easy, to living together in the same roof and you don't know each other.
God bless you
