oy, ok so I'm officially stressed about not being able to find a place to live in September. Here's my dilemma, I will only be able to pay about $400 for rent with my current income taking into consideration that I'll spend about $25 a week on food. Hillel is taken, my other option is this room I'm offered for free in exchange for gardening and walking the dogs. Now I need to decide. Here's the story:
The guy is in his 30s and looks exactly like Javier Bardem except he has blond hair in a pony tail. He just bought a house in Amherst and wants someone to take care of the garden and his dogs. There's no one else living in the house. Umm that's creepy enough... I saw the room, it's in the basement, it looks like a basement and it smells so too. The walls are concrete, the ceiling is just tall enough for me to stand straight, the size of the room is half the size of my current room, and the only window is no bigger than 9x11in.
I'm very scared of the guy/basement =( but it's free, need more options *sigh*
