So I needed two room mates for my apartment. My current bedroom is the smallest and there are two huge rooms upstairs where girls who have lived here longer than me live in. My view is, if you lived here longer, you get the pick of the room.  The newest person doesn't come in and say "Okay, I want this room!" That's just rude to me.


Anyhow, 2 girls in my sorority came over to look at the place and possibly move in. They casually said they'd like to move in, then after giving each other a look said "Well, okay, let's do this. You can just stay in the room your in and we'll move upstairs. You won't even have to move your stuff."


Well, last year, I gave my room mate the master suite and I took 'the kids room.' I have the smallest room now, so no, I've lived here for a year and I'm taking one of the larger rooms.


Then they said "well, it's kinda important to us that we get those rooms." So, it ended very akward and weird. On principal, I didn't want to give in. Who comes into someones house and picks their room? That just seemed so rude to me.


So I go talk to my landlord today and he told me that my apartment has just been rented out-I'm 95% sure it's to those girls. They went behind my back and found a third person to take the small room and now I have no place to live. I'm livid. And these girls are supposed to be my sisters?!


I looked at small, 1 bedroom apartments but they're $525 a month plus utilities. Mine right now is double the size of that, very nice and new for $350 a month.  So, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I can pay the $525, have a smaller space that's not as nice, but still cute but then I won't have to commute and I can continue teaching aerobics here.  Or, I can move home, find a job there, but I'll be away from my bf, and I'll have a 45 minute commute everyday. What do you guys think I should do? I'm torn.


 


edit: The 1st apartment I posted was crap inside. Here is the apartment plan that I am debating about. It's not this exact one, but almost exactly the same. (it's huge, sorry):

how was it ok for them to find another person and kick you out??? don't YOU get to decide if they live there? i'm sorry jen- these girls sound like huge, spoiled b*tches. If you definitely dont want to/can't live there, i'd find your own place if you can swing it. didn't you show us your apt. plans?

two questions: How can your landlord rent your apartment if you're already living in it? and what kind of sorority "sister" would do something that f*cked up?

Well, I had to sign a lease by a certain date and at that time, I didn't have two other girls so the apartment is no longer mine but up for grabs for anyone with 3 total people.  I'm really mad about the whole thing because I know they planned the whole thing out and they thought I'd just go along with it. And when I didn't, they didn't even think about me, they just found someone to take the smaller room.

thats so crappy.  i can't believe they would do that.  i would like to think that karma or something will take care of them. 


if you can afford the apartment, i'd get it.  sounds like you would be happier staying there and it might be nice to live on your own.

That is awful.  You definitely don't need friends like that.


I'd get the place by yourself.  IMO, living by yourself and not having to deal with roommates is totally worth spending a little extra money.

I'm so sorry they did that to you! So slimy! Fwiw, I vote NO COMMUTE. It will make your life in school a living hell - I was commuting an hour (just 15 more minutes) a couple times a week part of last year, and HATED it so much. Plus, living away from campus means you have to PLAN for every little get together. Too much hassle, and your friends spend all their time just hanging out and you get left out of plans and have to make "Hey, anything going on tonight?" calls when you feel like getting out of the house, which is just BAD for your self esteem. (And I was only 15 minutes away from the law school last year, but it has been a huge difference being within walking distance).

I agree. Live alone. I bet you will love it.

Ditto!  Karma's going to come back and kick their bitchy asses!  Ha!


Living on your own will be wonderful for you.  Do it if you can.
