I know I've heard many people mention it.
I don't know that I want to move out of Lafayette, but if I commute to Baton Rouge, NOLA, etc, it opens up lots of job opportunities I might not otherwise have explored. I've never looked into this, and aside from calling up people I know, and asking if I can rent a bed for 4 nights (M,Tu,W,Th) a week, every week, I was curious how to go about even getting a rental unit.
Ideally sharing the rent somewhere seems best, as paying for a whole apartment myself will likely always exceed the cost of the commuting, even though I drive a 15-17mpg Silverado.
If you have experience doing this, what was your situation like,
and more importantly how did you go about finding place to check out?
