<Title>Roommate and apartment needed near UMBC</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><p>Hi everyone,</p>
    <p>I’m a PhD student starting at UMBC from Fall 2025, and I’m planning to arrive in the U.S. around the first week of August. I know it's a bit early but I’m currently looking for a roommate and a place to stay.</p>
    <p>I’m ideally looking for a <strong>2 bed, 2 bath apartment</strong>, with a budget of <strong>$750 per person</strong>. But I'm also open to <strong>2 bed, 1 bath</strong> options if it helps reduce costs—my budget for that would be <strong>$650 per person</strong>. I am expecting utilities to be an extra <strong>$60 - $80</strong>, but would definitely be happy if it is included also. </p>
    <p>If you’re looking for a roommate or expecting to have a spare room available by early August, please feel free to reach out to me at <strong><a href="mailto:achatte1@umbc.edu">achatte1@umbc.edu</a></strong>.</p>
    <p>Thanks, and I look forward to connecting!</p></div></div>
