For context, been applying to different grad schools and trying to live in Chicago. I really don't know anyone who lives in Chicago currently, and if they do, they making way more than I would living there so whatever rent they got going on is way out of my price range.

What types of places you guys look for roommates? I don't really use socials like that but am open to it just to find someone to live with until I can figure out something more long term. Appreciate the help in advance.

my school had its own web portal for rooms/apartments to rent

craigslist was honestly the best resource to use when i was looking for a room tho

Always wanted to know how this worked; the process. Like I get it in a dorm situation for school, but just on the regular seems wild linking up with randoms to live with.

room with classmates?

Not dating apps but I'm pretty sure there are room mate apps similar to Tinder etc

facebook groups

I might look into that. That is actually a good idea
