I am studying abroad FALL of 2011 and I need housing for SPRING of 2012 when I come back my budget is 500 but if I really like the place I'm willing to go up.
Please email me if you have any availability! Close to campus is of course preferred.
Assuming everything pulls together for me to study abroad next Spring 2012, I will be looking for someone to sublet my room in the Helenes House (1290 W. 29th St., at the corner of 29th and Ellendale).
No need to be a Helene to live there. Just means you'll be living with 6 other girls who love giving back to the community :)
You'd be getting a single room for $725 a month, before utilities (which is usually an extra $50 or so). The bathroom is shared with only one other girl, and it's connected to the room. There is a single common room in the middle with a kitchen attached. I don't know if you've done much looking around but this is a really good price for a single room so close to campus. I'm currently living in Century and pay the same amount for a shared room that is significantly smaller.
You're welcome to take a look, if you're interested. I've only actually been there a few times myself so maybe we could go over together.
