Get your apartment shares sorted in one night
At Spareroom we’re experts in creating happy apartment shares, and our SpeedRoommating events are one of the most popular and successful ways we do it. You’ll meet lots of potential new roommates in just a couple of hours, giving you the best chance of finding the right ones without the hassle (and awkwardness) of attending viewings first.
Why SpeedRoommating?
-
It's faster
See lots of potential roommates in the time it would normally take to see just one!
-
It's easier
Forget any awkwardness and feeling like you’re in an interview. You’ll be meeting new roommates on neutral ground in a bar – and what’s more relaxing than chatting over a drink?
-
It's safer
Meeting new potential roommates in a public setting eliminates any potential risk that comes with going to a stranger’s house.
-
It's more fun
Everyone’s in the same position, which is a great ice breaker. You’ll meet lots of likeminded people and maybe even find some new friends as well as roommates…
How it works
-
Book your place
Check out the events page to see what’s coming up, and reserve your spot. -
Get your name badge
Fill out the badge you're given on arrival – it'll be a different color depending on whether you have a room or need one. Be clear about your budget and desired area on the badge, so people know what you're looking for. -
Grab a drink
…it's one way to break the ice! Most of our events have a happy hour (and cocktails), so buy your favorite and get mingling.
