cosmo said:I live just north of Bradenton and am interested in a roommate. I'm about a 35 min drive from school, interstate all the way. I live in a three bedroom house, have two dogs and two cats and am a non smoker. If you're interested or want more info, just pm me.
Oh yeah, I'm female. Females only !
docKinga said:Just out of curiosity, what kind of dogs do you have?
FrogE7 said:Hey I am hoping to find a place soon. Where are you guys thinking of staying? I hear the colonial grand and some other place is where most med students live. I would prefer to live close to other kids since I figure the rest of the population will be over 65..hehe.
Tadgie said:Since 2009 doesn't have a thread, I figure I'll jump in here. The earlier post was right, the majority of students live at colonial grande lakewood ranch, I myself don't live there now, but I will probably end up there at the end of the semester because of apartment problems where I'm at now. If I can be any help to any future PBLers, I'd be glad to help.
WSCcheese said:What do you know about the springs at braden river? That is what some current students at my interview suggested? Did you happen to use the roommate list the school provided or did you live by yourself?
docKinga said:So my bf and I will be moving down to FL together next year, but he doesn't graduate untill December. So I'm not really sure how to deal with him not being there for the first semester. Should I get a place by myself and hope that I will meet people anyways and not become incredibly lonely? or do you think I would have any luck finding a roomie for just the first semester, which would probably just be a hassle for them unless they were in the same situation as me. Please give advice, i'm a little stuck right now.
Thanks!
Tadgie said:I'd recommend getting a place on your own, and don't worry about being lonely. You'll make friends real quick here, everybody's real close and real friendly. If it was for more than a semester, I'd recommend a roomie, but no one wants to deal with moving or anything like that on christmas break, you'll need the rest. Just my opinion though, hope it helps.
FrogE7 said:That's exactly what I am planning on doing. I like living alone and when I want to see people, I just step out of my apartment. Where do you recommend getting something for a decent price for one person? What is a decent price?
docKinga said:I was wondering if anyone from out of state was gonna go apartment hunting down there. I'm thinking about going down on my spring break, which is March 10. Maybe we could get a whole gang of out of staters together or something, and that way we could meet a few of our fellow classmates as well. Just a thought. Lemme know if anyone is interested.
FrogE7 said:This list was given to me on an excel file by the Bradenton Adcom. You can look them all up in that apartment guide you got at your interview. Also ForRent.com has them listed. The following stared apartments were higlighted in the excel file. I think those are more popular or get some sort of discount for being a LECOM student, but I am not sure.
***Carlton Arms, Fisherman's Landing, Springs at Braden River, Colonial Grand at Lakewood Ranch, Huntington Place, Town and Country, Tuscany, and Sawgrass Cove were highlighted.
Colonial Grand at Lakewood and Springs were also recommended by students as being popular apartments.
After doing your own investigation, tell me what you guys think. I want to live alone and I saw that The Springs have decently priced studios. I really want to live around a lot of classmates so I don't feel isolated.
Good luck:

FrogE7 said:Did we just get new mail from Bradenton? I changed my address and don't get my mail till the end of today. Please if some one got it, let me know what we got!
NolanDNA said:I can't wait to see you all, I live about 45 mins north and have lived in the area my whole life. If anyone needs to know about the drive from living in other areas I'm your girl!
See you all soon!
scpod said:Congratulations Christy! I had a feeling that you would get in
See you in late July!

rosepetals said:Hi Nolan, I want to buy a condo/townhome, and it seems cheaper up north. What area do you think are good to look into, and is anybody also considering buying?
Thanks

bodymechanic said:I'm looking into buying too, and would also greatly appreciate any insights/suggestions as to the best areas to focus on. I'm hoping to find something a little closer than 40 min, and maybe around the Sarasota area (seemed like a little more to do...?), but I haven't really done any serious research yet. I'm planning a trip down in April to hunt. Can't wait to meet everybody !
