Rant after the jump
Mother fucker. I'm trying to find people to live with next year. I'm moving to the downtown campus and all my current roommates are living back on the main campus. I've already gone through two sets of people for various reasons and I just got a message today from someone I was going to look at houses with that she made things work with her old roommates and isnt looking anymore. FUCK! Supply is getting low and I'm running out of patience.

I know the feeling of having a roommate bail, and it fucking sucks. Fortunately, I have some people that I'm planning to live with next year when I move out of my current place, and hopefully nothing goes wrong during that timespan.
Chin up, it'll all work out eventually.

Okay, let's think through this logically. Are you familiar with the concept of a press gang? You really only need one person willing to room with you, then the two of you go out and conscript someone else - some "taking the King's coin" trickery device may be necessary. Then, when that person is accustomed to living with the first two of you, you can forcibly conscript more - up to another 2-3 at least.
I suggest you start with a campus subgroup who will find British merchant marine tradition compelling as a reason to room with you after you get them drunk. Maybe SCA?

Well my the building where most of my classes are is on a large river.
Definitely an option.

Let's make a jalop house. I am down. What city should I move to, if you don't mind me asking?

I ended up living with someone who goes to a different university.

Enroll at UNM. I will rent you a room cheap. Comes with most meals, garage space to work on cars with access to all tools. (I know the 2nd one is tempting you).

Dude, I had a group of people one year where we were going for an 8-man suite.
4 jumped ship week of room selections so they could combine with another 4.
3 went to live off-campus.
0 told me. I found out day before room selection.
Ended up in a triple with a couple other misfit friends. Great year but I was pissed at those guys who ditched.

It doesn't help your situation any, but that lead picture is now my work desktop background.
But thanks!

I'd offer my help as I live downtown already but I don't have a spare room available and I prefer to live alone anyways. I will join for beer though.

Yes. Maybe we could all chip in to get one for the house.

We're gonna need a big house! And more importantly...a big garage.
Found it!
Look at the size of the driveway! Parking galore!

I can't imagine why. From your demeanor in this post you seem like you'd be pleasant to live with.

Jalop House rules:
1) No autos
2) No car borrowing (sucks, but it's
better than the alternative
)
3) Obey the Ex rule (If you have a girl/guy/cat/whatever you are interested in and they were dating a member of the compound recently (3-6 months or so), do not engage in romantic relations within ear/eye shot of the ex. Respect the feels of your fellow oppos.)
4) Youabian Puma ownership will result in immediate eviction

I'd bring a welder, my tools, and my project cars. That's all I'd need, right?

TR6060 three pedal swap will be mandatory. That or you park it round the block so's it's auto transmission fluid doesn't stain the driveway and give the other cars auto cooties.

Can you help me swap my 1970's Land Barge deville to a manual so that I can park it in the driveway? Also bring a hammock.

A couple custom mounts and some butchering of the center tunnel and we'll be in business.
Note for Xmas shopping: hammock.

Finding roommates sucks.
In school I didn't get housing, nor did 2 of my friends. Friend A only wanted a place for 6 months and didn't want his name on a lease. So we finally found a tiny place for 1800 with 2 bedrooms and a living room or 3 bedrooms and no living room. So we call him up and say "we found you a room, you're going to be paying a 1/3 of the rent for the year"
Friend: "No only for the 1/3 I'm there"
"We're giving up our living room, you're not on the lease, and you're only there for 6 months."
To this day he's convinced we were trying to screw him over.
