Would anyone think it’s weird if someone has a squat rack in their bedroom or office? The past couple days I have been thinking about getting one of those models that folds up against the wall so I can save time commuting to the gym, dealing with crowds, save money in the long run, etc., but I live in apartment so I don’t have a garage to put it in.

Who cares if anyone else thinks it is weird. You do you - squat racks are great. I guess just make sure your apartment lease will allow you to affix a heavy squat rack (and potentially plates) to the wall since that is definitely different than hanging up a TV or shelf.
