Hello,
I'm a medical student from class of 2011 and I'm in Sacramento. I'm looking for one tidy female roomie with no kids, no pets for next year, starting in July 1st, 2008. I prefer another medical student, maybe a first year, so if you know any first years that just got into UCD school of med, please forward them this message. The house is about a mile from the medical center. It's a very nice 2 bedroom house in East Sacramento, which is a safe neighborhood, off Folsom and Alhambra. As you may or may not know, some areas of Sacramento is kind of "sketchy" in terms of safety, and I've shopped around for different houses to rent-- it's definitely a benefit to live so close to school and feel safe at the same time. The route to the med school is safe, as well.
I've lived in this house for 1 year and get along very well with my current roommate, but she is moving out. The house has washer and dryer. Big living room, dining area, modest sized kitchen with electric stove, microwave, oven, and fridge supplied. Temperature indoors is cool in the hot central valley summer. Has AC and heater. One bathroom with tub and shower. Ample storage space. Big enough to be comfy in, yet small enough that cleaning it is pretty easy.
Rent is $575 a month (for you-- it's $1150 for 2 people). Plus $33 Surewest Internet, plus variable SMUD, and PG&E bills.
I can lend you my first-year books, like anatomy atlas. So if you live with me, check with me before buying any new textbooks. I'd also be happy to answer any questions about first year med school.
My living habits: generally go to class. Sleep slightly before midnight. Study in my room a lot after school and prefer generally quiet study time. Do my dishes every day, and clean the house periodically (sweeping and/or mopping once every couple of weeks). I'm pretty easy-going and will share some of my supplies, pots and pans, etc. I'd say I'm quite responsible about paying the bills and maintaining the cleanliness of the place, though I'm no neat freak. It'd be nice if my roomie is generally reasonably neat and not an excessive party-er in the house.
I have a semi long distance boyfriend (from Mountain View, Lockheed engineer) who will visit me and probably stay the night a couple Saturdays per month, and he can stay in my room or the living room. I'll let you know ahead of time when he's visiting and the duration of his stay. We generally spend our time together outside.
I enjoy opera, classical music, House MD, going to the free UCD gym near the med school, and cooking Chinese food which I enjoy sharing. I also played a lot of concert piano when I was back in college. People say I'm kind-hearted, grounded, funny, and a little quirky.
🙂 I'm sure we'll have fun.
