“Sometimes, when people sit here
and talk to me, it’s like a confessional. I
hear a lot more than I want to. But I feel
like I am a pretty good judge of charac

a thief. And I do turn people away, al
though not very often.”

She said if there’s any advice that she
would give above all else to those seek
ing a roommate, it is to “meet potential
roommates in a public place, like a cof
fee shop or something. This cuts down
on the intimidation factor that can arise
from having a stranger in your apart
ment or house, or from being a stranger
in someone else’s place. Meeting in
public is a great way to start. ”
While there is no doubt that re
sources such as this can be extremely
helpful, use caution. They can some
times lead to roommates that you
might not have to had paid cash to
meet. Rife found that out the hard way.
“One of my roommates I had, I paid a
place to find for me. I paid $35 dollars, i
and later on I saw her same advertise
ment for free on a bulletin board. I was
mad that I paid for a roommate that I
could have met for free.”
