Re: Philadelphia
i think if u're a woman + new to a city and doesn't know anyone over there than better search for a mosque or muslim community centre over there .............(for instance the city where i live , here the community centre offer a lot of services + they've online website where in a classified section u could easily find postings for a room or apartment for rental ), this way u can even contact it's certified officials/ members and ask them for any kind of help or guidance u need .
