Can any Harvard students weigh in on the HUHousing real estate? It seems like there may be cheaper options in Somerville and beyond, but for the convenience of a > 7 minute walk to the department and no hassle of paying other bills / dealing with a landlord, it seems like it may be worth it for the first year when i'm slammed with coursework. Has anyone lived in the apartments owned by Harvard and how competitive / what is the lottery process like? Is it tough to get a place as a single student?
