Make sure your roommate is organized

- If utilities are not included, make sure to ask what they usually run.
- Get one near your university or near a bus line to it. Commuting gets old fast.
- Ask how thin the walls are. Loud people s---. Traffic as well.
- If you smoke, get a roommate who smokes. If he deals, have fun being paranoid.
- Make it clear what's yours and what you guys can share. Food, toilet paper, etc.
- If they have a girlfriend, you will either never see them or consistently be a third wheel.
- Don't sign a lease that runs August to August or something stupid like that. It basically traps you from moving in the future without your rent overlapping. Shady places do that.

Make sure there wasn't ever a young girl murdered there and left her soul in a transformation of a ghostly sprite that haunts the apartment until her murder is solved and she is released from her earthly bondage and can ascend to heaven.

Also, turn the shower on and stick your hand in to check the water pressure and see how long the hot water lasts.
