Have any of you used Apartment.com's roommate finding service?

If so, what have your experiences been?

2. sorry, no

But here's a tip:

Better to have a boring but solid roommate than a fun, exciting one who skips on bills.

3. How about this?

A fun, exciting roommate who pays their bills and is respectful of you.

5. I've had a great experience with roommates.com

It's a pay site if you want to contact someone, or be contacted, but it's search engine is decent, and it has built-in messaging.

6. If you were my child, I would say "ABSOLUTLY NOT", however,...

if you are so determined, you must do a character, background, and financial check before you enter into any financial or living arrangement with someone you don't really know. Please be careful, this could be far worse than a college dorm situation. I'm thinking you know how egregious that can be.

7. roomies

Be sure at least they're compatible as far as smoking, drinking, parties, and hours.

Be real careful about entering into financial stuff with someone you don't know. Check references, whether credit records or from mutual friends. I wouldn't trust 'their' friends.
