looking for a community sort of thing

[DJMistryUK]

hey, i was wondering if there is a place on SL, where u can live in a community, for example, u rent a room in a dormatry and theres a communical area to meet everyone alse who lives in the same community....any ideas?

You're best bet for finding a community might be to find people who have similar interests to yours, such as through a group. I know there are pagan/ witch communities and New- Age type communities that have some housing in their sims. There are role-play communities that have housing in their sims as well. I think there must be others too, but I don't know them.

Another thing you can do is rent a home on a sim that has many houses or apartments for rent & then make a point of introducing yourself to your neighbors. You can say hello when you see them walking around or click on the rental boxes to see who lives there, then send them a short IM saying hello. I've always tried to be friendly with my neighbors & tenants, & sometimes that pays off with a lasting friendship. Even if it doesn't, being friendly with neighbors helps you resolve potential problems more easily, such as their prims being on your land or objects creating too much noise or glow.

As with real life, I think people in SL don't always want to be chatty, but if you can find time to get to know each other a little, you may be able to connect on a closer level.

The victoria Academy is as much a community as a school and may appeal - there's a link to our newsletter below and if you download that it will tell you more..  Members can have a bed in the dorms free and there is low cost rental housing available too for those that prefer it.  There are no joining fees for Victoria, nor 'tuition' fees - we run on subscriptions.

Many roleplay sims work like that, you have entire villages, neighbourhoods, cities where people live in a community like that.

Also if you rent land anywhere there are some landproviders who created an own community and make weekly or monthly neighboar meetings. Lionheart for example is such a community.

The City of Concord is the most established I've seen so far...I spend lots of time there. Theres lots of groups you can get involved in. You have to roleplay though.
