Xuan Yi

I’m Xuan Yi. I’m originally from Singapore, but I’ve been studying in Boston for the past year. My friends would describe me as easy-going, analytical, and independent. In my free time, I like to spend my time outside, either alone or with others. On the weekends, I often head out to hike, and rock climb.

I’m a mechanical engineer by trade, and I work a pretty normal 8-5 schedule. During the week, I’m usually in bed by 11:30 and up by 7 On the weekends, I’m usually asleep by 12 and up around 9.

‍I’m a pretty social person, but I also need my alone time. I want my house to be not a place that’s constantly full of people. I’m open to the idea of my roommates hosting small parties - I would just like to know about these ahead of time. I’m down to get to know each other; I’m not saying we have to be best friends, but I would like to do things like occasionally watch TV together and host cook outs for friends.

I like to keep common living spaces pretty clean. I do my dishes every day and put away my belongings when I get home from work. I’m open to the idea of a cleaning schedule to keep things organized.

My monthly budget is $800, and I’m looking to move in sometime during the middle of September. I would like my own bedroom, and I’m open to living with 1-3 other people. If the bedrooms are sized differently enough to justify different prices, I’m happy staying in the larger or smaller room.

Here are some quirks and relevant information: I’m sometimes overwhelmed by loud noises and can’t stand cupboard doors being left open. So, if you’re someone that needs to have the volume on the TV up to the maximum, we might not be the best fit. With that said, I’m not going to get upset at you for making popcorn at night or watching your favorite TV show at a normal volume. I’m not a smoker and I don’t want to live with smokers.
