Roommate Hunting 101

Basic Steps to Finding a Roommate

  1. Write a smashing (really good) Craigslist ad.
    a) You might want to take a look at the kind of things that other people write in such ads.
    b) Make sure you have no spelling mistakes (Which I'm sad to say I failed at this part).
  2. Clean the apartment so that the future roommate does not see you as a slob, also warn current roommates that there is someone coming to look at the place.
    a) Take into account that the current roommates will probably not clean...
  3. Start brain storming questions to asks/things to talk about.
    a) Like where are you from? Where do you work? and so on.
    b) Make sure to point out all the good points of the apartment/room. (closeness to septa, space, and so on.)
  4. nervously wait for prospective roommate to show up.

    Notes:
    Yes, lucky for me I have someone coming to look at the apartment today. Which is very exciting and a little scary. I'm hoping everything works out because I really want to stop worrying about all of this. Wish me luck, def since I still have some cleaning to do... Hopefully I am setting up myself to be more then just a survivor.
