Hey all,

I’m going to be moving to a major university next fall to attend graduate school. I was thinking about trying to get a room in a student co-op. (As opposed to sharing an apartment or house.)

If you’ve ever lived in a co-op or had friends who did, tell me about it. What are the ups and downs? Would you do it again? All comments are welcome!
