    Looks like I'll be hosting a 26 year old German for 4 months. My job does interns and he's coming over here to work and school. I'm doing it mainly for the $ but I think it will be a cool experience. Any advice out there would be greatly appreciated :) :beer:

    Well, 4 months isn't that long so it shouldn't be too bad even if you don't get along with him. But then again, you've had enough past experience with room-mates that you should be the one giving advice. :shake:

    Just lay down some sensible ground rules and I assume you should be fine. He's probably the one who'll have to tolerate you, anyway, and not the other way around. :p

    Without knowing the person?
    If he is a student from Berlin or the area play Shadowrun: Dragonfall and you get an idea how those people are... :rolleyes:

    If in doubt fall back to Sheldon Coopers rules for roommates

    Well it's a go! He'll be arriving Sept 27th. I think I'm getting some grease in the wheels at work because everyone is excited to hear the news. Now if I can only hide my :beer:

    He's German; you don't have to hide anything, though he'll probably complain about the quality of American beer.
