When I first moved to the DC area, I quickly learned that things were a lot different back in Michigan and I needed a roommate. The only people I knew there were the people I worked with! I answered an ad in the Washington Post for a roommate! Okay, this was many years ago and times were a lot different back then!
I think Linda and I shared our 3 bedroom /2 bath apartment for 3-4 years. We each had our own bedroom and bath and we made the 3rd bedroom into a TV room/guest bedroom. Even though we had a lot of the same interests, we didn't do a lot together. I worked a lot of long hours and we merely shared an apartment. By saving so much money on rent, in the end, we were both able to buy our own condos.
I'm not sure I would do it now because times are a lot different. But it worked for us back then.
