Hi! I’m Hannah. I am 20 years old and I currently live in Chicago, Illinois. I have been accepted and will be transferring to CSULB for the fall of 2018. Does anyone have any advice in terms of finding roommates for off campus housing (apartments, etc.)? Since I live so far and will not know anyone, it is really hard for me to find people. Plus I am not familiar with the area at all. This whole process is pretty overwhelming… so any sort of help/advice would very much be appreciated! 
@hanahhbabbiii Congrats! i applied to LB too but still didnt get an admission decision. it’s a cool school and it’s on the list of the possible colleges I would choose to attend! I’m more into living on campus because it’s easier but if I find a roommate I wouldnt mind living off campus what’s your major?
Oh sweet! I hope you get in!! My major is English rhetoric and composition! Hbu?!?!
My daughter is on the group chats for accepted candidates for her top schools. (One she’s still waiting to hear from.) She’s already made a bunch of online friends. Once she hears from that last school and decides where she’ll be going, she’ll start the roommate search… some of them are in the same position.
I bet there’s a group chat for transfers, or for older kids attending the school. Why not look into it.
But I’ll second the question-- why not consider living on campus for this first year? i would think it would be a lot easier to get to know people that way.
@hanahhbabbiii I’m a film major. I wonder when I’ll know about my admission decision this is getting me nervous. Anyway, nice to meet you Hannah!
@bjkmom that’s what I planned to do. It’s easier and better especially if you are not familiar with the new city or you dont know the place very well. i’m looking for good roommates too, once I make my decision. i am still waiting to hear from some colleges I would like to attend
Join the group chats now, and start to know people. You’ll meet guys and girls, and start school in the fall with some friendly faces.
@bjkmom for which college? And where’s the thread?
It’s not here. Try your schools Facebook page. She’s on the chats for the top two schools she’s considering.
What is the page called. I might be considering looking for a roommate
To be honest, I have no idea.
When she received a letter of acceptance, she somehow knew to go and find the chats. I’m sure some of the other kids on this site can guide you… why not start a thread asking about Accepted Student Chats?
Hello Hannah!! I am 22.
I am a Biology - emphasis cell molecular & physiology major.
I also was accepted to CSULB and will be needing a roommate.
I’m still between dorm or finding housing off campus. I am non local , I am from San Diego. So i am waiting to hear back from UCSD before making my final decision.
Hi Hannah!
My name is Natalie and I’m 20 as well. I’m looking for a roommate too, except I applied to live on campus in beachside college. I was told that living on campus would be a faster way to make friends (:
@SweetCaliforniaWeather-12 This is site we found for off campus housing if you’re still looking.
