Off campus housing advice for someone without facebook

Hey, all. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and can help me navigate forward on this. I am looking for off-campus housing for September, and would like to find a compatible roommate. All the advice I was given was "check facebook" so I made a burner account and the boards blocked me immediately upon attempting to post. I guess I must look like a bot, which is fair. Can anyone give me advice on what I should do in this situation? Has anyone else been here before? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
