Those carpets won't last as per their normal "replacement life", so you should account for higher than usual wear & tear- the general saying "yo, get yourselves a room" means it's your place, so you should not have a problem with the "noise" at times and be ready to vacate the place for few hours just because that's what good roommates do for each other when necessity strikes :)- "regulating" the place aka (no parties, no nasties, lights off by 11pm etc) means you will have no fun place for easy going coeds, and generally it will make it a "dork house", which is ok, but again, birds of feather stick together, you will have to match all occupants (they will match themselves too anyway), you get the gist.
