Hey, how the hell do you find roommates for uni!?

I've tried craiglist and I'm getting about absolutely nowhere with it. The thing is I live 5 hours away from the uni and its hard for me to drive up there that much. I drove up there when I had an appointment with the school and planned a meeting with one of the people I was talking with. They had a nice house, but later they called me and said they found someone else.

Now I'm back on craiglist and out of 20 messages I've sent out only 1 person replied back. And I don't think it'll be worth driving back up there to see just one house. I really don't know anyone up there so I can't really ask if anyone is looking for someone. Any recommendations?

Oh, and I'd rather not live in the dorms, since I'm going to be transferring (entering as a junior). I really want to meet the people just to see there not douche bags and have to suck it up for a year. So help?

Uni. of Pittsburgh its a city so it's not hard to find an apartment. The trick is to find a cheap apartment or house and 1 or 2 roommates.

Usually a university would have a websit especifically for this type of thing. A website where students can sell, buy. You might wanna just try searching it at the homepage or something. Other than that, try to ask friends who have friends going there.

That's tough, do you not know anyone thats going to the same school where you live or what? Go to the school and walk around like polilord, sometimes there are offers for roomates.

hit it up w/ some hippies!
Don't you have friends at the uni? Ask them?
Bulleton boards @ school is definitely the best idea. I suggest you try that.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

Good luck is all I can say. When I was searching I put up ads on craigslist and my school off-campus housing site. Got a couple calls back and now I'm set up.
