Any of you have experiences using craiglist? (no giveaway, I'm effin' serious!)

If you have the slightest bit of common sense, it's pretty easy to navigate. Most postings are legitimate.

do not know "craigslist". what is it?

I've used Craigslist with limited success, but 90% of the time all you get are bot responses.

In the UK, we use student housing service offered by our university. Maybe you have something similar?

Yea try getting a dorm. Use student loans. It's so much safer than rooming with someone in a apartment.

only experience with CL is listing garage sales, seemed to work pretty well, but the signs on the roads might've done all the work
made almost $900 in 4hrs(to note.. half of that was 3 items), split between 2 + an expensive lunch cut out of it($100)
