I'm planning to move to the city in November and wanted to know what the best sources for finding a roommate are. I've never done that before, so I'm not sure where good and reliable places to look are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Send Corine2 a PM. She'll do anything to get a man.

I would go to apt finders Matt.
Good luck.

MAtt,
there are lots of options. Craigslist really has a lot of good listings...but be warned since many of them are realtors in disguise.
There are tons of gay options as well...that's if you want to go that route. Rainbow Roommates is one and the one my friend used to find his apartment I can't even remember...but a call to the Center would probably get you all those services.

If I could, I would room with you! I was wondering the same thing...

Do you have any connections with organizations in the city? For example, there are roommate listings at Actors Equity, as well as several of the schools in the city.

PS: Why are you moving to the city?

Be careful with Craigslist cause some listings on there are from brokers posing as individual listings.

Bwaysinger-If indeed Matt_G goes the gay route, he'll have to take the Hershey Highway! (sorry, I always try to lighten things up a bit.)
