finding roommate(s) in tuscon

[jammy]

Hello all I was hoping (along with one other grad student) to find one or two more (preferably grad students) to share an apartment since i figure it will be a better deal. the problem is, i dont know where to find people, there isnt really an obvious place to post on craigslist (housing offered or housing wanted or both? will it get removed if i dont actually have a house im offering, just the dream of getting one?)

 

and the universitys roommate matching site has about 20 people.

 

so: is there somewhere online we can find people or do we just take what we can get for 2?

 

cheers

Step 1: Spell the city's name correctly.

Step 2: Post your query in the "City Guide".

 

Alternately, you can try going through your department or the university's graduate student association. If you're looking for roommates, check the ads for housing offered and also those posted under roommates. I've posted a housing wanted ad in the past and gotten some decent responses and some crazy responses (places that were over the budget I listed, for example). YMMV obviously.

hmm ok thanks probably spelling the name right will help... but unless im misunderstanding it the graduate student association thing is just the "off campus housing" which like i said has about 20 people---

 

were you looking for roommates or just a place to stay?

This has definitely been covered in the City Guide for Tucson and also in other threads about roommates and housing around the forum.
