This comment somehow completely sums up how I feel about this - thanks for putting it into words. Anyone else feel this way, too? And a question to those students already a few years into their grad programs: how have you kept in touch with your former profs, and have they been generally happy to hear from you?

Does anyone here have an opinion on the university housing for graduate students? (I specifically mean furnished apartments for one.) I'm an international PhD student, going to CU-Boulder as a visiting researcher for the academic year 2014-2015 - so any information on whether applying for the university housing would be a good idea, or if there are better places available for rent, would be appreciated. I don't drive and would like to be within walking distance from the university - can anyone recommend good areas in which to live? Thanks!
