RE: [UUG/MLUG] roomate needed

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I'll probably need a roommate here for the summer semester. Would be about
$250/month rent+utils. Is a 2 bedroom apt w/ 1 1/2 baths, plenty of outlets
and closet space, and in a decent neighborhood. Women preferred but men will
be considered. IMO same-gender roommates is a bad idea though as you tend to
argue more than when it is male-female. Anyone interested let me know in
advance.
