<p>I will be attending the Harvard Extension School next year and have no clue about how to find an apartment that is within walking distance of Harvard. I also need a roomate because I hate living by myself. And it can’t be too expensive either. Any suggestions? </p>
<p>(where could I live besides an apartment?) How can i find a roomie? Please Help!</p>
<p>Good luck! I’ve seen ads for rooms in shared apartments for $700-800! Your best bet is probably craiglist. Also, look at Somerville or Allston where apartments are a bit cheaper. As long as the apartment is near public transportation (subway or bus), you should be fine.</p>
<p>zebrastripes, I’m not sure if you will need to work while in school, but if you are willing to live in as a nanny or housekeeper, you may be able to get housing and a job in a very nice neighborhood near Harvard. </p>
<p>Since the extension courses are in the evening, the schedule could work out well for you, and those looking to fill such a position would be used to students working for them.</p>
<p>fendrock, thats a good idea…but will i still have time for a social life? lol</p>
<p>Well, zebrastripes, that probably depends on how much sleep you need :)… but really, sometimes the demands on a live-in are not that excessive – being there for the kids when they get home from school, meal prep, etc – I had a great little place and all I had to do was clean house once a week (but that was a very cushy deal, passed along to me by an acquaintance).</p>
<p>So apply early and choose carefully, and you may be in luck!</p>
