Living off campus - finding a roommate? - nightmare campus 1 stream

I tried to think and decided I definitely want to live off campus. After some research, I'm not hating 5mi from school to save up to $ 500/month for rent, while living in a home really nice. However, there are still some problems:

1.) What is the best way to find a roommate or two for them? I will be a 3BD/2BA between three persons share (inc'l me). When and how should I start my research?

2.) Est 3-5mi too far from campus? It takes 25 minutes drive to the campus by public transportation at the same time with the bike, but 10 minutes by car. However, parking is a nightmare at school, if you purchase a license.

3.) Do I expect my roommate to cars this situation? I personally start but when my friends, cars, could get a little chaotic.

For comparison, I am the college at UC Berkeley. Many people say it's a bad idea, but comfort is low on my priority list.
