Yo,
I need to find a place to stay while I go to college down here in Virginia. The school is in Charlottesville, and I've been looking around for an apartment. Most of them are either full or too expensive, so I'm starting to look for roomates w/ a room to rent. Any tips for anyone thats been through this sort of thing before? I'm a dude and don't really care who I live with, although most listings here are from gay guys with rooms to rent to people who would like to be "companions" (i'm serious). Anyways, any advice on what to look for, how much I should pay, what sort of paperwork is involved, etc etc? Should I apply for renters insurance, or would I be covered under the house's insurance if I move into one?
Thanks
