Queer/ND Student Looking for Roommate
Hello!
I am a transfeminine international student at WLU. I am 22 years old, and I am looking for a roommate. I am looking for another person who is also queer or neurodivergent, I have a gender preference for female students, but am ok with anyone of any gender.
I do not have a house chosen yet, but will choose one when the time is available. I'm looking for something not too expensive, under $2200 CAD per person. Ideally I'd like to live close to campus in a house with private bedrooms and built-in laundry.
DM me if you are interested!
