Your First Apartment/House

[bgsugirlie]

I'm about to graduate and am finally moving out!

Here's the plan:

I'm moving about 3 hours away with a friend and the two of us are getting an apartment together.

However, we don't have any mutual friends in common, and my 4 best friends will be living at home (which is 3 hours away). I want them to be able to visit me on weekends after I move. I'm not sure of how "roommate etiquette" works though. Is it rude to invite my friends to stay over on the occasional weekend? Do I have to get my new roomie's permission? This is all so new to me!
