I would be staying put if it weren't for grad school on the east coast. Looking for a great room mate to move in June 1st, but could negotiate a later move-in date in June if we find the right fit. Please contact me, Lindsay Burdette, to schedule a visit. If fit is mutual and you didn't meet your future room mate on your initial visit, I'll schedule a chat with just you and her.
