Derek S - $1,050/month

Going to NYU for my Masters in Biology!!
I'm an international student, I'll arrive likely in September, nothing is finalized but I am hunting or a place early because I am on a *tight* stipend budget. I never had a roommate but I lived alone during my bachelors and I consider myself pretty clean and organized. I'm looking for a friendly roommate. We don't have to be the "bestest" of friends but I need to live comfortably and know my roommate!
I am male and gay. Therefore, I would prefer either LGBTQ+ or female allies!
