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?
