I have such a cute apartment with the nicest roommate ever!! Her name is Yvette, she's a high school English teacher, and she loves to travel. She has been tremendously helpful to me in finding things around town, figuring out the train system, and even giving me the discount cards for the grocery stores. She is a lot of fun 
to talk to, and her English is perfect (except that she's prone to using British English, so she's already taught me a few English words!) Her apartment is fully stocked with books (she even has my same Ikea bookcase!) so I don't have to find reading material at the library. 
The apartment is in Nijmegen Oost (aka East Nijmegen) and it's a working-class residential neighborhood. Very large, cobblestone streets with several parks and playgrounds crawling with kids - I like the area a lot. I had been worried that I'd be put in an undergrad-type student area, but this is perfect.
