Hey Ms. Ashley, totally understand where you're coming from, that's how a lot of us came to the board, looking for apartment help! But you get addicted...watch out! hahaha.

Definitely take an hour one day and go through all the threads in the "Sleeping siestas between fiestas" part of the board, it's in that third section down when you enter the board.

Also, do a search on the board, using apartments, place to live, etc, something like that, and TONS of info will come up, people have posted some really good ideas, which I wont' repeat, because they're all in here already!!:

Good luck! Keep us posted on how it's going! Besos, Joy

Go to the University and check out the bullitain boards, there are usually other students looking for roomates for apts they already have. Also, try segundamano, it comes out Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, they post people looking for shares (roomates), and also empty apts. But be advised, places go fast, so get up early and start calling! I'm sure your friend will have some suggestions also! Good luck! Smiler
