[Anyone else stressed out about housing?]

I unfortunately am in between a rock and a hard place. I applied for graduate housing but it is a little on the expensive side. At 780$ for a 2 bedroom 2 story townhouse (800 sq ft) it feels a little over the top (I need 2 bedrooms- for the kiddo). So I am contemplating whether I should risk applying for an apartment not on campus (sight unseen & forefeting $150 deposit) or just move there. I just don't want to move and then have to move again. And I do not (repeat-do not) have easy things to move. Like big screen tv's I can't carry and a sofa that is double my height and weight. 

 

Oh and does not help that I highly doubt I will pass their credit check (housing off campus)...oh what to do?

 

I would give my left pinkie for a $780 house. Try finding a place in Silicon Valley. $2000 for studio apartments...

See you all there. MS CE-SDC as well. But I will be living off campus as I have dogs.

I applied to the same program.

I still haven't heard anything from Stanford but was rejected by UC Berkeley a few weeks ago.

Is nothing a good sign? better than rejection I guess.
