Thanks so much for this article! My boyfriend and I are getting our first apartment. Although we share one with three other people right now it’s nice to have information for our own apartment since we won’t be haring anymore. Thanks!

@ Peter: Very good point–I’ve experienced all of the above, plus one set of neighbors who bounced a basketball on the floor above me at all hours of the night.

Peter’s advice applies in the dorms, too, guys!

Just one more thing:

Remember, in an apartment building you will have neighbors, who may (probably), like some peace and quiet. Please understand that in some ways, you share a common space — a wall, ceiling and floor, at least — and sound (*especially Bass sounds*), the fumes of smoking materials and other smells travel quite easily between spaces. Respect your neighbors, and they (most likely) will respect you.
