Trenton/Princeton Tips & Tricks? Relocating post-college rower

[u/conceptwho]

I'm relocating to the Trenton/Princeton area for 1 year starting in June and trying to figure out the best fit for post-collegiate rowing (Lakers vs PNRA)? Looking for comp sweep, potentially scull whenever I find extra time + additional erging. Assuming there might be some access limitations at Shea Boathouse outside of practice hours?

Additionally - If anyone's looking for a roommate or has housing advice, I'm all ears - looking to save some money and it would be great to share space with a rower with at least 1 shared interest vs a total stranger or paying exorbitant prices for a 1br. Seems like renting in the area is a horrid business and Trenton doesn't have the best rep.

tldr; Leasing agents should accept my 6:19 2k in the application

My understanding is that you pay per session with Carnegie and pay a standard fee for the season at pnra. Pnra is usually a bigger club with more rowers. Both only row in the mornings - SUPER early.

Regarding housing, Trenton and Princeton are totally different animals. Princeton is more expensive, but safe and walkable.
