hey guys...i was wondering how early i should start looking for an apartment for dental school next year (might seem like a silly question to some ppl, i've just never had to do this before lol) thanks!
 
Not a silly question at all. But it can vary a lot, so its kind of dependent on where you are looking to move to.
 
Completely depends on where you live and what kind of housing you're looking for.

what kind of living do you think is the best? single apartment? apartment with roommates? house with roommates?
 
Not sure if this is common, but I know at Buffalo they just opened a housing forum for us where the 4th years can list their apartments or houses for incoming dental students. People can also request roommates so that dental students can live together. I think you are probably better off having a dental student as your roommate than someone else because they know what you are going through and you have a built in study partner.
