Housing Megathread - Fall 2017

I hope everyone’s ready for the fall semester! I ended up scrambling last minute to find a roommate before school started, and ended up trying out this new housing app I read about in the Baltimore Business Journal.

This apps so cool. There’s a built in compatibility algorithm. So instead of relying on someone’s word that they’re “cool”, “funny”, “laid-back”, etc. The app has made an interactive questionnaire based on things like sleep schedule, cleanliness, whether they’re likely to have a party at 2 am – and so on.

I ended up finding an empty room on the app that fit all my requirements (budget, move in date, proximity to CAMPUS) along with matching me up with a like minded awesome roommate right in time for the beginning of the semester. I highly recommend this app because it’s a way better bet than craigslist for finding an awesome roommate.

Here’s their website. www.homiesapp.io where you can download on either iPhone and Android. P.S. I'll make sure to update this post if my roommate ends up sucking, but I don't see that being the case :P
