21 year old geek

I'm into computers and sci-fi. I keep to myself most of the time, and I like travelling and exploring new places. I'll be attending classes at LMU, for a year, so I'm looking for accommodation near the campus so that I can walk to it every day. I'm on a tight budget, so it will help if the rent was low, and I only need the essential stuff. So a decent shared dorm/apartment will do.
