    Anyone have any experiences with a shared kitchen?

    If I were to find a studio with a kitchen, it'd probably be $700+.

    So please give me some advice.
    My god, rent is cheap.
    lucky SOB, I'm paying 1650 right now half of a little duplex.

    I've only shared kitchen with roomates, (2 at most) and it was never an issue.
    My suggestion would be to keep all your silverware/dishes/cook kit etc to your self, and make sure you wash your dishes after yo use em so you only need a few. Assuming you don't have problems with thievery in a common fridge I'd bet you'll be ok. If theft becomes an issue, fight back creatively.

    I say, if you like the place go for it! Whatever happens will just be part of your individual special college experience. Best case you learn how to cook a lot of new dishes, and get to know your neighbors well. Worst case you learn a lot about conflict resolution, a real world skill that will benefit you greatly when you leave the magical world that is college....
    I can't wait till I can go back.

    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
