Is being roommates with your best friend a good idea?

Some people said it’s a bad idea but one are saying it’s the best and it’s fun don’t listen to what others say.
I wanna have a place of my own but my best friend wants us to be roommates and we do EVERYTHING TOGETHER. She said where I move, she moves.

It can be wonderful because of the shared closeness.
But a lot depends on how well you can deal with conflict.
Any two people will always have differences and sometimes needs clash -- like one wants to stay up late talking to her boyfriend on the phone while the other wants to sleep.
So it's necessary to have good communication and conflict resolution skills. Both of these can be learned free free via online sites providing one practices the exercises everyday.
If you can't resolve conflicts, then a bad argument or lack of forgiveness could lead to the end of the friendship.

But the fact that you would rather have your own room suggests to me that you need a bit of regular time and space alone -- so maybe that would be your best option.
You can still keep sharing everything else.
