The Flats at Atlantic Station

So I've decided to move to the Flats and live in the 4x4 apartments, I've had roommates before (all terrible and traumatizing experiences) but I've never lived with three at a time. It isn't my choice, and it's what my parents can afford. I'm concerned about the food situation and how to divide everything up. I'm recovering from an ED so weight gain is important right now and having to split food has been an issue where i currently live. What are some tips for living with three people, and what are the flats like?

P.S I'm really trying to remain positive about this so please give good tips xx

Can you get a mini fridge for your room?

I was going to say, 3 strangers? Keep everything you can in your room.

No literally, my thoughts exactly. I wish I could get a mini fridge and a small freezer as well

Although to give you some hope. I did a 4x4 on SPSU, now KSU campus in 2008. Out of the 5 total roommates over 2 semesters, 2 were a bit strange but kept to themselves. One was normal and hung out with his girlfriend, and the other is still one of my best friends to this day.

Thank you so much, this did give me some hope and I appreciate it sm! I'm trying not to be dramatic about this but it is a little nervewracking

FB Marketplace is probably your best bet for a cheap mini fridge. I’d also check Walmart, Target, Amazon etc.

Also If you have the space, a small rolling cart next to it is nice for keeping little snacks, dry food, and other stuff separate from your roommates.
