So I need some advice...I told a friend that I would rent a place with him. But recently, I found a studio for rent that is affordable. We just started looking for a place together for a week.

Should I live in my own studio?
Rent: $750
Bus Pass:$62
Utilities: $60
+: Live alone, own bathroom. Landlord is allowing me to have snakes.
-: Distance

Or rent an apartment with a friend?
Rent: $750
Utilities: $60
+: Walkable distance to work
-: Shared bathroom, kitchen, everything, no pets allowed

I feel like a bad friend if I decided to go with the studio. What should I do?
