Is it crazy that I want a roommate around my age?

Well, this story comes from the other side. I'm the youngest person in the house I'm renting right now. I'm 20, and my housemates are 22, 23, and 29. I don't like living with the 29-year-old for reasons besides her age, but it definitely is a factor. She isn't in school, so she's in a different "phase" of her life. I need space to study, I need to get to sleep earlier, etc. This is her actual home, whereas I only live here when I'm going to school, so we have totally different expectations.

I guess my point is this: it isn't a good idea for either party.

I get what you mean, and this is part of my concern. My roommate is a grad student, so she's partly where you are, and then she works at an ad agency full time as well... "best" of both worlds if you could call it that.

Y'all are so helpful. You have no idea how much all your comments have eased my mind.
