New York magazine did a few case studies on roommates who live in New York.

Jordan Wyn has lived in some places.

There was no communal space in the apartment other than the bathroom and kitchen (the owner had her own private bathroom), so I often felt like I was in a boarding school/convent/orphanage.

I once had a roommate who was terrible.

A thing to get done.

I am officially done with grad school, and in the fall will begin life as an assistant professor in a large(ish) city in the southwest. My new goal is to buy a house, and I would like to know how I should start going about saving to do this?
