What It Offers:

Roommate2Go.com, "a national roommate search service dedicated to finding your next roommate fast with as little pain as possible," helps you find a roommate by searching its large database of potential matches.

Where It Covers:

Roommate2Go.com covers cities across the United States and parts of Canada.

What You Can Do Without Signing Up:

You can search profiles and preview the results.

What It Costs:

Roommate2Go.com offers two levels of memberships.

A free membership lets you add your profile and post an ad with photos and video, browse matches, and send e-mails to matches.

If you get e-mails from potential roommates, you must upgrade your membership to read them. This costs $9.95 for a 30-day access.

How to Sign Up:

Signing up for Roommate2Go.com is quick and easy. You complete an online form that asks for basic information, including whether you need a room or already have room. Choose a nickname and password, and you're set with a free membership. You can also get automatic e-mail notification of new matches that meet your criteria. Upgrade to a paid membership if you wish to read incoming e-mails. Roommate2Go.com keeps your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address private –- it's up to you to share this information with matches, if you wish.

(If you've already used this service to find a roommate, what advice would you give others who are new to online roommate-matching services? Share your experience and read what others have to say.)
