apologies for typo earlier (can't edit my post), WSU is located on College Hill, so for proximity purposes, places located on College Hill would be a good bet. I have heard of bad experiences from other grad students who have rented from some of the management rental companies, but none from Dabco though. And re: graduate housing, I hear similar things from the grad students as well; plus the prices seems to be a bit steep compared to off-campus housing.

Hi HKgal, i think your best bet would be to email the professors you are likely to work with and see what is their response. you might also consider emailing their current grad students to get an inside scoop of things. While some departments are heavily quantitative, there may be faculty who are still very supportive of students who do qual work.

Hi Eunice, I am attending in the Fall as well, and have made contact with a number of grad students and faculty regarding housing and the general area. A few of the grad students warned me about Terre View, and to avoid places on Military Hill if you are not the partying type, since there are lot of college students living there, as it is closest to WSU. If you have an idea of what kind of housing/environment you prefer, let me know, and I will see what I can do.
