Dear Aimless Andy,
Finding an apartment AND people you trust well enough to live with can be hard.
My best recommendation for you right now would be to make an account on Clark’s Jump Off Campus website. This is where I found the place where I am currently living! Although it’s not how I found my roommates (that is a crazy story for another day), I am very grateful to it for showing me my eventual home.
On it, you can make a roommate profile that details your budget, your preferred lease length, ideal move-in date, along with typical roommate questions. After that, you can browse others’ profiles, which shows more of their personalities and preferences. If you like them, you can message them right then and there!
Also on the website are a bunch of listings of places nearby, which you can filter by budget, location, and number of rooms!
Definitely check it out! I hope you find wonderful roommates and a wonderful place to make your own.
xoxo,
Miss Guided
