    This is all really helpful! Thank you! My goal is to live close to campus but with minimal interaction with undergraduate students. I will have to check out rosewood. As I've been browsing online, it appears that rent prices are in the same range as Lexington! I've communicated with some of the professors already, and they all seem pretty welcoming and friendly. I'm not so much worried about the department as I am with the overall feel of the campus. But I guess when I visit I'll get an idea! Good to know about all that ahead of time...I'm not a religious person, so you probably saved me from looking like an a-hole on Sunday mornings. Thanks for the advice!

    Oh, great! I was expecting rent prices to be much more, but they seem pretty comparable to where I live now. Are those 2 you mentioned w/n walking distance to campus? I'll have to keep all of these places in mind. I love a good farmers' market! We don't have a Publix here, but the way people talk about it I assume it'll become a new favorite. Those are good tips. I'll probably try to limit using my car unless absolutely necessary. I absolutely hate dealing with parking.

    Hello all! I've recently been accepted to a Ph.D. program at the University of South Carolina. I will be doing a campus tour within the next month. I am hoping anyone who has knowledge of the area could provide some information about what it's like to live there, costs, etc. I looked at some previous forum posts, but it looks like the bulk of the info is from a few years back. Questions- What are the best areas for grad students to live? What places should I avoid? (Pet friendly is a must!) They are offering me a living stipend that works out to slightly under $1,500/month. Does this seem like a doable amount considering rent prices close to campus, food prices etc.? How is the campus environment? Things to check out while I'm down there? Popular places for grad students? Thanks!
