Back in Charlottetown!

I got back in Charlottetown around 11 pm last night. It was a long trip. We left around 12:30 and headed to Truro to look at apartments. You should have seen the first one I looked at. Oh my god. I can't believe people actually live in those conditions! It was a "bedsitting room" which I thought previously was like a bachleor. I was mistaken. LOL The only room for any furniture would be your bed. And a double would be pushing it. There was a two-burner stove and a bathroom without a sink. Wow. I was impressed LOL. All for the low price of $400 a month.

The second place was better (the too-good-to-be-true 2 bedroom) but it was a mess and the people were smoking. It was about a 2 mile walk to school. The price was good, and they allowed animals. Nice big kitchen, but the "second bedroom" was anything but a large closet that lead to the bathroom.

The third place was better still. Clean, large living room, one entrance and not in an apartment building. It was closer to school about a mile walk, but farther away from any stores (e.g. food, entertainment). After this it was looking bleak. The other apartment I had considered looking at was a lot farther than the other apartments and would be quite a trek in the winter, so I didn't bother looking at that. But with a little luck and some work we were able to find the name of a guy who owns a couple small apartment buildings near the college. And we convinced him to come on short notice (5 minutes) to come show us one of the apartments! It was actually his daughter's that we saw, but the one for rent wasnt available for viewing due to the tenant still being in there. It was the nicest by far. Super close to campus, clean, bright, well maintained, and loved the layout. Best of all? Its a two bedroom! :) Of course the price was a bit of a scary issue considering I'd have to start renting in July. But with the luck I had this time I wasn't going to try to find something when all the students are trying to come in. So I officially am renting two places! LOL

I've attached my not so accurate scetch of the layout. I will apologize to Hal and Tracy for that LOL But it will give you an idea. I'm so excited now! I can plan stuff :) Hehe.
