Hi future VCU M1s,
Congrats on your acceptances! Sorry to bombard people with posts about housing, but I'm a current M2 looking for a roommate to move sometime between June and August.
About the house: Located at the corner of 26th and M in Church Hill, down the street from a brand new
(excellent) bakery/coffee shop and across the street from one of Richmond's
best restaurants. It's 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths. One of the bedrooms is giant, and the other two are smaller. For the past two years I've had two roommates, but the house really does better with 2 people living there and the landlord would prefer it to be that way. I currently live in one of the smaller rooms, and I'm thinking you could take the large room and we could split the second small room somehow. Downstairs is a living room, a spare room (any awesome ideas for it?) and a recently renovated kitchen. We also have a backyard with a porch and room to landscape if you like. Rent for two people is $645/month each.
About me: I'm a 27 year old guy. I'm okay with either men or women roommates (currently have both). I drink occasionally, and go out on weekends if I'm not too busy. I don't smoke. I like a clean kitchen, and am generally fairly neat, but I'm not necessarily obsessed with a clean house. Anyway, this is probably all irrelevant because I'll be too busy on rotations all year and on away rotation for 10 weeks or so while you have the house to yourself.
About the neighborhood: Like I mentioned above, there are places to go and things to see. I feel safe walking at night alone to the places I want to go. It's also really easy to get to school - there are three different busses that'll get you to campus in 8 minutes, walking takes about 20 minutes, and biking takes 10. I use my car about once or twice a week since most things you need are within walking distance.
If you're interested, don't hesitate to PM me with any questions you have. I'll try to be quick!
-Max
