I'm looking for a place to stay in Oakland for a few months at least. I'm hoping to get accepted to Pitt or CMU this fall, and I need new job hunting grounds anyway. Whether I end up moving or not depends on my employment. I'm still trying to find a job within my current range, but I've noticed some listings in Oakland that I wouldn't be able to easily reach from Etna without a vehicle, and being a college neighborhood, there are plenty of coffee shops and cafes where I can apply for jobs. I can't apply for them without first knowing I can solve this problem by moving to the area. Once I know I have options, I'll start sending apps out in Oakland as well as within bussing range from Etna. If I can find a job that can be reached from Etna, I'll stay until I start school in autumn. Otherwise, if I either can't find a job here in time or I get hired in Oakland, I'll have to pack up and move.

If you can offer me a room or know someone else who can, please let me know as quickly as possible. Thanks!
