That's not a good experience.
I lived in a share house for just over 1 yr in the Eastern Suburbs with 18 (not a mistake) 18 house mates and really didn't have much problems, well none actually. Was quite the experience actually.
I then bought a big house and ran my own for 3 years prior to getting hitched. When you are in charge you soon see how some people really don't give a toss about anything or anyone other than themselves.
I started with a 1pg contract for my house mates, and by the end it grew to 2 pgs with 1cm margins and size 11 font.
Find a place that has rules about quantity of visitors, parking, how 'whole house' events are planned / run etc.
Don't have rules in place, people do what they want.
Did your room have a lock?? Never stay in a place that does not allow you to lock your own door.
