Roommates for Grad School

Hi! I am starting to get responses from grad schools and am looking at housing. I really want to room with people from my cohort to help build connections (and I can’t afford to live by myself). I’m wondering what will be the best way to find people in my cohort once I commit. This probably won’t happen for a couple months but I like to think ahead. Are there ways other than the cohort megathread that I could find people to room with?
