<p>Me and rasberryblue are looking for roommates to share a house next year. We're both transfers who are less than stoked at the idea of living in res halls, etc. Anyone who enjoys a little privacy and the comfort of having your own washer/dryer, knows what I'm talkin' about. </p>
<p>We're still early in the search, so your input is definitely welcome. I'm pretty open, only requirements being: private room, backyard for my pooch. Must be dog friendly! This is another big reason for a house over University housing. We've mostly been looking at west LA/Culver city. </p>
<p>I think I’d consider ^guitarfrk123 and his experiences as the minority… </p>
<p>Places to live are never hard to find in college areas whether it’s March 1st, September 1st, or December 1st. People are always moving around and leaving town or coming back (like from study abroad), which means that apartments are constantly opening up and being taken.</p>
<p>Although, there is a slight spike in whole houses/ apartments that are available at the end of the school year as entire households of people graduate and move. So if you’re looking to find an entirely empty place to rent with friends then that’s the time to do it. Whereas if you’re a single person just looking for a room it’d be pretty strange to do it in the middle of a quarter as opposed to the end (May-September), as the current tenants probably don’t know what they’re doing yet lol.</p>
<p>My point is that observations like the one above me ^ will probably make people more stressed out about finding a place to live than they have to be, no offense to the poster at all though =)… just trying to make sure people know they shouldn’t be worried.</p>
