Hey everyone! A member of the coalition has an opening in his apartment in downtown State college starting August 1 for a full year lease. It's a two bedroom furnished apartment in Regency Square (by the days inn). The building does not rent to undergraduates, so he's looking for a graduate student or professional in the area. Rent is $650 per month including all utilities except internet. If you, or someone you know, are interested, contact Diego by email ([email protected]) or by text (720-427-7238).
