I'm surprised by how many people move into a place by themselves so early. I would get way too lonely. I live with my best friends at the moment, because one of them bought a house, but it's a crap house in a crap area and it's been a year, so I'm looking at places to move out. I'm looking at houseshare places on gumtree (craigslist) because I would feel way too lonely living by myself (also, as this series attests - super expensive!) This series is really interesting.

I think the moving to university, then moving somewhere different after university is a pretty common narrative, but it's these multi-state moves that got me curious. @RosemaryF I guess this was basically what I was wondering! do these articles represent a specific and not necessarily common demographic of Americans, or is it pretty common.

I got fleas in my first LA apartment, because stray cats figured out how to work open a part of the under-the-building-area and were living under my bedroom, meowing, shedding fleas. Told the landlord and they got the cat moved out and fixed the hole. (And I was able to just flea bomb the apartment with one of those sprayer things, since I didn't have pets at the time.) @Megano!

Living next to El Bar might make me hate any place, it is true; but Poncey-Highland is so variable from block to block that visiting places before signing a lease would be even more crucial than usual! And it's usually PRETTY CRUCIAL, in my book. @undinespragg Yes!

I live in Boston now - plenty of people here grew up in the suburbs of Boston/farther out in the state, but still, the majority of people are not from around here, because there are so many big schools. @redheaded&crazy When I lived in NYC, I only knew like two people originally from New York State who lived there.
