Anyone know about 8th and Wake, the graduate student housing? I got an email about them today from my department - seems easy and cheap ($650/month), but I'm afraid it's going to be like living in the dorms again, which I really don't want to do. Anyone had experiences with them?

Thanks! Good to know things are competitive although I can't imagine it's worse than SF, where I have lived in five increasingly expensive apartments in two years. What's the best way to find a room in a house/apartment? Craigslist? Definitely not interested in campus housing and would prefer to live with other grad students, or other people in general. Will have a bike so I'm not worried about being super close to campus. Right now I'm paying about $950 for rent in SF but ideally I'd like to find something in the $600-800 range. Is it easy to find housing if you can't be there in person to check the place out (this was a huge problem in SF)?

Anyone out there? Just got accepted to comparative literature. Anyone looked at housing yet? I'm currently in San Francisco, trying to hold out here as long as possible before school starts - would prefer to move up there mid-September but not sure if that will be feasible.
