When moving to a new area...

... is it better to find a roommate from that area, or a roommate that just moved to that area as well?

Logic says someone from the area would have valuable knowledge about the area that you could benefit from.

Try to find a person who has great knowledge about the community that he's from, so that you can learn more about it from that person.
