It doesn't sound a whole lot different than my current living situation or former living situations. I currently rent a bedroom in a 3 bedroom apartment with 3 other people, share a shower with one roommate, and keep 99% of my possessions in my room because my roommates like to party and I don't want stuff stolen or broken. It's not a great situation for dating or being social and I have to be extremely efficient with space, but the room works well as an affordable place to crash
Or forced to share a place with roommates
Why are you assuming a studio and not roommates?
You are describing roommates/co-ops.
If you want that degree of freedom, a boarding house or shared occupancy is not for you. Pay up for dedicated solo housing.
Living with roommates or even your parents is pretty common globally. Not the end of the world.
More like roommates, because they share a house.
People who live with roommates.
The part where you started comparing a private room in a shared house/apartment, with a hostel.
Not everyone has a spare room for that purpose.
