How I did it: I finally realized there was never going to be a `perfect time` to do it. I just had to jump in and do it. So I looked into houses for rent. I definitely recommend a house over an apartment if possible. Often you can find one floors or basements if you are living alone for not much more than a one room app or a bachelors. Its certainly worth it to not have to deal with goofball neighbors. 

Lessons & tips: 1. Explore the area you are moving to ahead of time. if it is an urban area walk around rather than drive, you get a better feel for the area.
