No more anonymous posting. Sorry everyone who liked it--- you'll just have to make a name.

so, I've spent the last hour looking online at apartments that are listed on the NU website. I don't know how detailed I got yesterday, but the town of Evanston is absolutely gorgeous. Many of the houses near the campus appear to be historic mansions. After a half hour of searching, it seems that many of these owners have too much space and are renting out rooms to grad students.

For example:

One bedroom for rent along with use of the house. Kitchen with pots, pans, bathrooms, laundry, cable TV and yard. Utilities are included. No use of my telephone and personal item. You are responsible for your food, laundry areas, personal items and cleaning products. Please clean up after yourself. Be respectful of the other people in the house, limit any music and TV sounds to a reasonable level. I have a cat named tiger, she is declawed and 14 years old. There is an alarm on the house that will be off while you are living there. Everytime the door opens, there will be a beep to let us know it is open. This will not trigger the alarm while it'’s off. My daughter is away at college in Illinois and might come home once in a while.

How crazy would it be if I were to live with some rich family. I'm not for sure, but I think they might frown upon my partying scene. FYI, the rent for this one is still $500 a month.
