<p>I just started my first semester at UC and finding the right roommate has been huge. Everyone recommends looking among your friends first by I just moved all the way from the East Coast. I found a bunch of blog posts on the web like this one, [How</a> to Find the Perfect Roommate - SpotMe Blog](<a href=“http://blog.getspotme.com/2012/12/how-to-find-the-perfect-roommate.html]How”>http://blog.getspotme.com/2012/12/how-to-find-the-perfect-roommate.html). They all say the same thing – look among your friends first.</p>
