Comments on: A place of my own http://www.theworldofstuff.com/archives/2009/01/15/a-place-of-my-own/ Semi-geeky musings, links, and observations by an all-geeky college student.

And my roommate's girlfriend's friend, who lives there, says the ride to school can be 40 minutes during rush hour. (Daniel: You didn't miss anything, but Andrea goes to my school and knows the area.) Each of us will have a separate lease. I have the original copy of mine, which sets out in writing exactly how much I have to pay, so if they try to screw me, I'll raise hell. But I don't think they'll do that. And for anyone wondering what I meant about the kitchen: it was pretty small, but I didn't want to hold that against it because it will probably be a good kitchen.

"fairly pricey" my ass. But that's a LONG bus ride every day, lol. Be careful of the roomate matching things- you're on a seperate lease from them right? Some apartment complexes do this thing where they just never match you with anyone and then make you pay for their share too. That is like the cheapest apartment ever. "fairly pricey" my ass.

It's probably better than a lot of people's first apartments, so that's something I can feel proud of. Thanks.
