So now that I'm done panicking about passing my biochem class, I've moved on to panicking about where I'm going to live in the fall. I've never tried to find an apartment from a large distance before, so mostly I'm just looking at websites and wondering how far from campus they are. I also live in an area where rent is relatively cheap (my roomate and I rent an entire house, utilities included, for 850), so I'm concerned about what I should expect regarding rent/utilities and if I'll have enough funds to pay for that.
I'd like a roomate to help with expenses, but I come with 2 relatively obnoxious cats attached (one eats anything that isn't behind closed doors) and a chinchilla. I'm also a pretty quiet/shy person who likes alot of alone time. And I'm not sure how to go about finding a roommate, since I definitely want one who understands that vet school will be stressful. Ideally, I'd like to room with another vet student.
I'm attending OSU and I hope to move in to a place by Sept 1. Does anyone who has done this before have any advise on finding apartments/roomates from a long distance?
