I am certain that this is very case by case and by different locations, but I am curious if it is "commonplace" to have a roommate in the frum world. I am essentially a baal teshuvah with fairly limited means. I am not certain if its common in the modern frum world to have roommates or not and not certain how to go about looking into this. Thank you!

1Sorry but I can’t tell if this question is halachic, hashkafic, etc? Sorry but for now I vote to close for being off topic since this is a very broad topic that doesn’t seem to have much to do with either Jewish law, practice, theology etc.– KirkCommented Nov 17, 2023 at 19:04

1Are you asking whether it is appropriate for you, as a baal teshuvah, to have a frum roommate instead of a "non-frum" roommate?– ShmuelCommented Nov 18, 2023 at 16:21

1In Israel this is a common arrangement, and when taking a roommate whether they're shower Shabbat and Kashrut is an important factor– יהושע קCommented Nov 18, 2023 at 18:34

Of course it's a thing! To stay frum you have to hang around with a good chevra. Good luck!– The GRAPKECommented Nov 19, 2023 at 15:28
