400sq ft is pretty good for a single person its bigger than most r.v.s. amd doen’t roll. you can do alot with the space if you know how,
nice———we have a frog fo the kit.
There is no standard percentage. Some floor plans are much more efficient than others- lack hallways and such. Besides there are a lot of people that want a huge part of the square footage in the kitchen and bath.
Rent in most big cities can be really expensive. If you're single, then a studio is the cheapest way to live.
Yes, it's uncomfortable, but that's the price to pay for the luxury of living in the city.
I live in Toronto, and rents are sky-high in the downtown area. I live in a small one-bedroom. It's really small (not a studio though), but I wouldn't give up the size if it meant giving up my location. I love my neighborhood, and if I had to choose a studio to be able to live here I would.
no roommate. it would be a bit arkward to share such a small space with a friend.
$80 electric
$20 water if it is not included in rent
$25 telephone
$25 cable tv
$10 dial-up internet; $40 cable internet
$200 groceries (after you have done your initial shopping trip to get bags of sugar and flour and rice)
$20 gas if your apartment offers gas utilities
$50 gas for your car
Yo! UR crib is nIcE!
were i live you can get one for $160-$205 i don’t pay for heat either since i have a space heater. so utilities is just water and electricity. so about an extra $60 a month
Thanks! I’ll message you.
nice man. u livin that GOOOOD life. lol
From experience:
-Rent is cheaper
-Furnishing is easier
-Utilities are less
BUT, you must be willing to live in a space that requires absolute organization. With all living space combined, you need to maintain order..i.e. don't leave out leftover pizza all night, or it will be an unpleasant wakeup call!
wow, very nice!!
That looks amazin. im trying to get a studio here in Sydney but there really pricey and tiny, how much do you per week there in the states?
That is a GREAT deal, in Sydney a $240 studio gets you an old run down studio with a shitty 1940’s kitchen and old floorboards. One like yours here would be round $300, and that would be in a hald decent area
You want a smaller breed that is low-energy. And one that doesn't bark a lot (because that will annoy your neighbors). A lot of apartments have weight or size restrictions on dogs too, so I'd find out what the rules are at the apartment before getting one.
Some smallish low energy breeds are:
French Bulldogs
English Bulldogs
Italian Greyhounds
Other breeds that could be good are:
Pugs (not high energy and don't bark a lot)
Some types of Spaniels like Cocker Spaniels or Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Chihuahua
Papillion
Whippet
Just stay away from any type of "terrier" dog since they bark a whole lot. That includes Beagles.
Animal Planet has a "dog breed selector" tool where you can answer questions and they'll tell you what type of dog is best for you:

Ikea.
It depends on how much you eat and what you buy. What about utilities or a phone? Be sure you allow yourself enough money to live on and go places and buy those things you want and need. Good luck. . .And remember prices are going up and going up fast.
If your only fear is the dark, you can keep nightlights going, and you'd be fine. But if your fear is really more about being alone, then I'd strongly suggest you get an apartment share.
Why torture yourself? You can get your own room in an apartment shared with other people, have a bit of privacy, but still have the security of the others being around you.
