Tips for WG life
Valuable tips for studying
A WG means taking responsibility, dealing with finances, taking into account - and experiencing many great moments. The following tips will help you enjoy your WG life.
Cleaning plan & order
The WG cleaning plan is probably one of the most important tools for a WG to work. It is important that everyone agrees with the tasks discussed and that they also adhere to them. However, it can still happen that they are forgotten from time to time, which should not be a point of contention. A friendly reminder is usually enough.
Privacy
When many people live under one roof, friction can occur. It is important to respect the privacy of the other. In your own room, the flatmate has nothing to do (except with prior consent). At WG parties or frequent visits, everyone should give their OK beforehand so that everyone can feel comfortable. The same applies to food. There, it is best to clarify what everyone needs.
Community & flatmates
As the word "WG" already suggests, you live in a community. Therefore, it is important to behave accordingly. In addition to tolerance towards the flatmates, it can be nice to reserve an evening a week for joint activities. For example, you can cook together - so you get to know each other even better and can clarify any issues.
Finances & costs
Who pays what? It is also important to clarify as early as possible how the costs are distributed. The expenses for common things such as cleaning supplies, milk or garbage bags can be divided among all flatmates. For this there are practical apps like At the end of the month, each flatmate can be charged - so that everything remains fair ☺
