Hi there,
We are looking for a professional, respectful and responsible roommate to take the third bedroom in our apartment. We are two professionals, male and female, in our 30s, in search for a friend, not only someone to share the rent with. We call our place home and want you to feel comfortable to do the same. This is a drama and tension free environment, and we want to keep the status quo.
We'd prefer someone in their late 20s/ early 30s with a full-time (not from home) job. We are okay with the roomie having the boy/girlfriend over sometimes as long as it's not a regular thing. Sometimes, we work from home, thus our place should be silent, clean and neat.
We are not cleaning freaks, but the basic "clean after yourself" policy must rule.
The rent includes all utilities and it can be lower than that sometimes. It is due on the 1st of the month.
Also, a 30-day move-out notice and security deposit ($700) are mandatory.
The room has a walking-in closet and no furniture. The bathroom will be shared with the male roommate.
Laundry room in the building and parking within the building complex.
No pets allowed.
One person only.
NO SMOKE - AT ALL!
The apartment is in a great location close to banks, supermarket, bars and restaurants. Just look it up!
Move in on October 1st.

Next Fall, we will officially launch the UCSB Teaching Assistant Association. The goal is to create a network for ITAs through which we can benefit from each other's experiences, gain support, and potentially bring our issues to the attention of the campus - and so enhance and improve the experience of being a Gaucho, not only for ITAs but also undergraduate international students. In addition, we want to bring CLAS, OISS, CAPS, GRADUATE DIVISION, and INSTRUCTIONAL DEVELOPMENT together to offer specific training to ITAs on both how to navigate the experience of being an international graduate student and Teaching Assistant and better support international undergraduate students, who are a great portion of UCSB students.
We also have one main task this Summer: to update the UCSB International Teaching Assistant.
Thus, I would like you to join us and help to write the new handbook, one made by ITAs to new ITAs.
We will meet on July 13 at 5pm at the library to get to know each other and brainstorm some ideas together.
Please join us and bring other ITAs. Let`s help each other and make friends.
