Hey,

I'm doing an internship near MIT this fall and it hadn't occurred to me to think of trying to live with other aspiring rationalists. As expected, it's tough to find a convenient short-term place when so many students are fine signing 1-year leases..

Any of you possibly open to subletting a room to me Sept-Dec? Extra awesome if you're in Cambridge.
