What is having roommates at 30+ like?

I’m newly single after a long relationship, and moving across the country with a stagnating income. Decided I might as well get roommates to save money and have built-in friends in my new city.

I’m about to be 30 and haven’t had roommates since college. I lived by myself since I was 22. I remember I hated having roommates cause they were filthy and loud but that was college.

I don’t know anyone who has roommates, anyone around my age have them? Is it any better than when you’re in college? How is it viewed in the dating world? I very much feel too old to have roommates and feel like women I date might be turned off by it.
