Im transferring here as a junior in the fall semester, people are saying that the college over accepted and that I should search for apartments stat. What are the best resources and tips for getting on quickly? Im going to be at the ACES quad, so that means I should look in Champaign right?
For context im going to be transfering as a junior to a fulltime univeristy thats 2hrs from my house and My parents are allowing me to live on campus there but the problem is that they expect me to seek out a muslim roommate (Im still hanging on the being a closested exmuslim thread rn ). I need to find an apartment asap for the fall(idk how to start that as well but thats a whole different thing i guess).
Obviously I fake being muslim at home and the whole reason I wanted to go to this uni is because I liked its location and i can live separately, but if im being urged to get a muslim roommate by my whole family (as soon as they bring up me going to live on campus they say check the MSA boards for roommates) I'd still be living without freedom.
I guess the question is, to those who've been in this scenario or are in it, How did you deal or make peace with it? Did you continue closeting? Told your roommate and they were chill with it and you? Became an asshole to you? or manage to finesse your way into getting normal roommates?
