I really think I might live alone I don't want to have roommates in relationships and I have specific things I want in a roommate. I want them to be like me basically. It's too hard to find someone like that.

Aww poor girl. That still doesn't mean you should have to compromise your living space.

Yeah I would get annoyed with a roommate having their SO over all the time. I hate that lol so maybe living alone is something I should consider

I'm starting to lean more towards being alone or finding a room in CL... But having a roommate in a relationship would be so annoying especially if they were constantly there. Blah I'm annoyed thinking about it lol

Ok how does this situation sound. I might have found a roommate, I met this girl in a class of 2013 group for my under grad school on fb years ago. She lives in Cbus with her family and she's in beauty school right now I don't know where she works but she said she's looking for a second job. I think this is promising. Only issue is her budget is 400 a month plus utilities. It has been nearly impossible finding a place in a good area that is 800 a month, 2 beds and 2 bath. I need my own bathroom like its a must for me. Also who will sign the lease? And it was brought to my attention you have to pay first month and last month and a security deposit! That's so much money! I mean I know we would split it but still. Someone told me I should just try to rent a room in a place but then what do I do about her? I feel bad just being like "sorry bye now!" You know? If I can find a room in an apartment that has another girl (I don't know how I feel about living with guys) and 2 bathrooms for Aug then great most people are like looking for Feb and March not Aug yet. I'm getting so annoyed with this process part me wants just be like screw it and live alone. Reading on this website I've seen some roommate horror stories, at the same time I really want someone to help offset the costs.

And so is her friend... So oh well. She should know what it feels like, oh well. I personally would never make myself uncomfortable in MY house for someone else. Childish or not I couldn't care less.

You should give her a taste of her own medicine a little. Bolt the door on her one time, I mean if she's a student she has to eventually be out the house right? Or bring your bf over and hog up the mutual living space a little. I mean she deserves to know how it feels.

She sounds kind of dumb and rude (6 months with someone makes them your soulmate... Right) but I would kick him out if you don't want him around. Tell him it's time to get out. "You don't have to go home, but you've gotta get the hell outta here" maybe don't say that lol but it's your right to kick him out if he is overstaying his welcome. You home should be your safe Haven so I say do what you have to do and good luck. As for got friend... Too bad she sill get over it.

Sitting in my room checking my email and the website and listening to my mom give my brother a pep talk about his grades

I don't. I do think I could find someone with similar interests

I will pick what is best. I guess I just want to know what is ok to do

I'm looking for past experiences.. That is what this site is for. I haven't ever been in the position of needing to find a roommate I know that in my search I am finding a ton of undergrads who need housing and not a ton of graduate students so yes I do need to know what other people think

What do you think about living with an undergrad student? Like a senior?

I might put an ad on CL soon, do you think I am looking too early? I mean it is Feb and I am looking for Aug.

Do you prefer living alone or with a roommate? I am so stuck on one hand I don't want to live alone, I get scared I would love another person to workout with and go out with on occasion and to just feel safe with. I mean I feel safer with someone in the house besides me and offsetting the costs is nice. On the other hand I like being alone, I can clean when I want and have total silence when I want, I know that I will always pay my bills on time. I am freaking out (I need to take deep breaths and calm down) I just don't know which would be better for me. I like my privacy I also kind of want a 2 bed 2 bath if I had a roommate

It is pretty rare actually. I don't think I know anyone in my graduating class who is getting a Masters a lot of them didn't finish college. I do know a few people in the classes over me who went out of state and went to law school and they are like way older than me and not married just traveling which seems cool.

Ok I think I will try CL, it seems like a lot of students are ok there and Uloop is good but it seems like a lot of undergrads. I would rather someone my age or older. I also wonder if I am just looking too soon? I mean most people are looking for someone to move in immediately or in May I need Aug. I should just chill out

Very true thank you

I honestly don't. Once one thing is ok and seems done I pick it apart and find another reason to worry. Lol I don't swim much so no. I mean this is very important it is my entire life here and I could live alone but having a roommate would be great but I don't want them to cut me into a million pieces and feed me to their dog!
