Moving recommends

18F I live down in Saratoga right now but I work up in SLC and I'm planning on moving up, it would be my first time moving, and I'll be doing it solo. (unless you count my cat lmao). I'm hoping to find rent under 1000$, I'm happy to live with roommates but I'm not sure where to find them.

Best places to find apartments/places needing roommates?

Tips for making more friends up in SLC?

Places I should avoid/places I should aim for?
