I say whoever gets that bedroom pays more in rent
How did you and your roommate decide...

worst case scenario you could always just swap after 6 months? I know thats a hassle and everything.

Flip a coin, call it. Seriously. You both need and want the room so might as well do something simple that's completely unbiased.

Ok, I'm going through our online conversations and so far, he's just been saying I could choose which one I want. I hope he still feels that way when I
talk to him later.

do you feel like you'll get stuck with more chores since he won't be there as often? if so and if you're cool with that, you could use it as a
bargaining chip.

I'm pretty sure he would not be willing to pay more for the master bedroom. And I feel awkward asking him to pay more if he wants it because he knows I
make a lot more than he does.
Anyways, I think we'll be ok... we're both pretty laid back so this shouldn't be too big of an issue. I'm just seeing how others dealt with this issue.

I have two other roommates, and to decide who got which room, we just picked out of a hat. We tried splitting the rent by square footage but it was way too
skewed, so we called the landlord and used their roommate-program prices, which works out really well.
