It's time for Vacancy!


I am in love with Vacancy ever since me and my friend decided to live together outside our home town: Canada.
My friend will be attending UCLA and I my self going to Arkansas for the graduate degree. We are so excited to go down to the US but at the same time so scared because we had no idea where to live without any of our family member or friend living in the states. After few hours of researches we are holding our heads in our palm and went "ugh" because there are so many options yet we had such a small information. For instance, single room apartment for $ 400 per month -a killer deal, but we do not anything except it is located in California. We wanted make sure the rent is reasonable, close access to shopping stores, school and main transit. Also we wanted to make sure that area is safe not a ghetto. Thanks to Vacanct.com we were able to find our dream apartment and talk to the land owner.
What we each wanted was not a best parties on block or hot neighbour (of course it might be nice to have one) but a quiet environment that we both could focus on our studies and get a nice cup of coffee once in a while. Another factor we loved about Vacancy.com was because it was somewhat student focused and list depend on our budget and preference. We also loved how we could compare and contrast apartments near by so that we could pick the best choice. Since we gonna be away from our family and friends, we decided to invest a little on our housing at least for a year. Now our room's wall is decorated with so many old memories as well as new ones.
Now I am waiting for the new school year to start.
I can't wait for the school to start meet more people and invite them to my apartment!!!!
Thanks Vacancy!
