Prepare for a better Hamilton roommate match
Students and young professionals
Start with the daily details: class or work schedule, quiet hours, guests, cleaning, food, and a realistic rent range. Those answers matter more than a polished profile.
Neighbourhood and commute
Westdale and Ainslie Wood can suit McMaster routines; downtown and Hamilton Mountain may fit different work, study, and transit patterns. Discuss the commute before the lease.
Safety and expectations
Meet safely, view the space, never send money before a viewing, and put shared-house expectations in writing before move-in.
