I'm a graduate student leaving the university to start an engineering job in the area and am interested in finding a roommate to split a 2BR apartment somewhere between Palo Alto and Sunnyvale. My desired budget is 800-1200, for a combined rent of 1600-2400. Ideally, I'd like to snag (and pay for) the privilege of a master suite in a nicer apartment with a big kitchen while sharing the place with an awesome roommate who appreciates the swank common space and doesn't mind paying a bit less for a smaller room.

Me: 26 years old male, mechanical engineer. Non-smoker, social drinker, no drugs. Enjoy sports, hiking, skiing, and cooking.

You: Male or female, Stanford alum or grad student preferred. Don't have a cat, are at least mildly social, and appreciate/will contribute to the joy of living in and coming home to a reasonably clean apartment.
