When Your Roommate's Significant Others Stays Over ... a Lot

If you live off campus, you have the luxury of handing out keys to your apartment to whomever you like and not having to worry about letting people into your building with your campus ID. And if you have a roommate, this means that your roommate has the same freedom.

And, quite frankly, when should you ask your, er, "guest" to start contributing to the expenses of the apartment?

MSNBC.com has a great article addressing this exact problem. While it doesn't give you a definitive answer, it does provide interesting survey results on the topic. It's definitely worth a quick glance if you aren't sure if your expectations are unreasonable ... or not.
