International student searching for flat to share (September 2017-July 2018)

Hi everyone! My name is Michael Wolfe, a 2017/2018 U.S. Student Fulbright Scholar from Baltimore, MD. I'll be living in Aachen and I am looking for housing near RWTH. I need housing September 2017 to July 2018. I enjoy nerdy conversation about science and music. I will be bringing a guitar or two for fun and will be looking for local places to play. I will conducting research in a condensed matter physics lab at RWTH university. I also speak very limited German so would like to improve my German with my flatmates. Ideally I'd like a furnished space since I'm only here for a year. I also hope to take advantage of my time and travel when I'm free.
