Next year...

After considerable and lengthy discussion over plans for next year, the person who I was originally intending to live with for the next four years has dropped out and is planning to live with another friend. Whilst this is her decision, i'm quite offended by her apparent lack of consideration for my feelings in this matter and lack of concern for my future living arrangements. What do you think I should do?

I would also be offended by her lack of consideration etc... who long have you got until you need to find somewhere, as I would start looking now to be safe. Have you got any other friends how you could share with?
I'm guessing you are off to uni?, so you could try contacting them as they often have an accomondation office, which also has information on local flats not owned by the uni but are designed at students. Our uni actually checks the flats/shared house out before they put the ad up.
It's so unfair, he's supposed to be my friend too and he didn't even bother to ask me, and she didn't even care about how i'd feel, she just looked after her own back. She's only going to his house I think because his parents are buying him a house and so they'll probably just have to pay bills or something. Grr...
go to view houses, there will be loads, some will be crap and some will be nice, you can ask the people questions and decide whether you could live with them. you dont have to live in the same place with the same people for 4 years, and they dont have to be doing the same course as you
i moved in with people i didnt know, and are on different courses to me and its the best decision i ever made.
Unfortunately around here it's pretty much assumed you'll be in the same place for four years with the same people... people don't move around at all unless they're really not getting along.
Your other option I suppose is to become a senior resident or warden in halls.
Also, it's only December now - you've got ages to pair up with someone else or another group.
Have you checked out the University of London Accommodation Office? They're pretty good. Here
Trouble is, we were looking at a place that was ideal and 2 minutes walk from the medical school. Of course, it doesn't matter for 3rd year and onwards, but for next year would be good. However, she's now looking at it with this other person. Cheek.
It could be worse name wise... University College London is now just "UCL" apparently but when our uni magazine did a survey on the road right next to it most people asked thought UCL was a cinema!
