Sister Looking For Housing
Assalamu Alaikum
Dear MSA members
My name is Hoda Osman, an Egyptian PhD student attending GMU (Fairfax) starting the fall semester 2008. I'm supposed to arrive at Fairfax approximately on the 20th or 21st of August.
I started looking for a place on craigslist and got some opportunities with female roommates, but I'd rather have Muslim sisters as roommates.
The ideal place I'm looking for is a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom in an apartment or a townhouse that is either a walking distance to campus or conveniently located on a bus route. I'm very clean and organized and in need for a quiet place to focus on my studies.
I would appreciate it if any sister lives in or knows about a place where I can move in around the mentioned date.
May Allah reward you.
