Making The Roomate Hunt Easier and Safer

I am not breaking any earth shattering news when I say that the cost of renting an apartment here in NYC is very expensive. To offset costs many people, in particular young people, turn to roomates. When I graduated college I moved into a one bedroom apartment with my best friend and we stayed together until I moved out some years later to get married.

But, if you dont have any friends to move in with or if you are new to the city finding a complete stranger to move in with can be a scary and stressful event.

Now comes word of a new option....Roomates Wanted NYC. Its a new service that lets potential roomates meet in a group setting usually a bar or restaurant. You can mingle, talk to other like minded people and walk away feeling comfortable that you may have met a few "normal" people to chose from to become roomates.

Its a very civilized method of selecting a roomate and one whose time has certainly come.
