It is super common to have random strangers from Craigslist as roommates in American cities. I live in Boston and if you're single and apartment hunting, Craigslist and friends-of-friends-of-friends are the only way to get into a place .

Most people don't get much stuff bought for them, and most people therefore can't afford a whole apartment by themselves until they get a well into a well paying career.

If you live in a haystack or have rich parents that might be different, but that makes you an outlier.
