I go to a private university in Chicago. Here dorms (especially apartment-style) are much more expensive that off-campus housing, even when comparting luxury apartments with many amenities included. I use rent.com, apartments.com and roomates.com website. I am not sure whether I should look for a studio for myself, or for another roomate who has a spare space which gives me at same cost living room, own bedroom and a company ;) What are advantages and disadvantages between two? Would you consider looking for apart or rather a roomate who has a place.

Besides currently I live in dorms and hate it. my roomate sits in our room 24/7 h except when he goes to classes 2 times a week. He once watched me sleep! He watches animes! He is weird. In addition he types on his keyboard very nosily all the time. Thats why it drives me little bit a nut. How would you cope with that if you were in my situation?
what other websites to use?
