Right now I prefer central campus so I can be closer to the town and walk to class. For the past two years I've been living in a neighborhood with nothing of interest to do in a walkable area so I'm looking to change that. I'm trying to keep rent in the $700s if I can - I'm surprised at how expensive even that is, although it's much cheaper than my current rent...
When I visit this weekend I'll be looking into some two bedroom places but I'm also looking at places that just have a room open in a 2-4 bedroom place. I can let you know if I find any leads you might be interested in! What housing preferences do you have?
I have similar preferences. Central campus and rent within $700 sounds pretty much what I've been looking for.
The internet tells me that kerrytown and old west side are ideal places for grad students, but they seem a bit expensive.
It would be great if you can let me know about housing options. If you need flatmates, I am more than willing to join you.
I found out on reddit that brookside apartments fall within our rent range, and although it is not strictly in the central campus, it is pretty close by.
And this website looks good for searching: https://www.padmapper.com/apartments/ann-arbor-mi/old-west-side/l-4225825/3-beds/under-2100?box=-83.7828259367,42.2512505504,-83.7440304655,42.2927234145

@vroomfondel @jmillar any luck finding housing yet? I'm visiting this weekend and lining up a few places to visit.
Nothing yet. I am an international student, therefore can't visit.
But I have explored extensively online. I need roommates before finalizing. Are you guys looking into north campus or central campus?
what budget are you aiming for?

One year a long time ago, there were penguins who didn't wear hats when swimming. This made their mothers livid. "Unacceptable!" Frightened, they screamed, "Bears!" Nobody seemed convinced so instead of going swimming they tried juggling. Their mothers tried everything they thought would teach her a skill. However, she couldn't even make oatmeal without disastrous results. So, the penguins gathered money (obviously) trying to purchase a bear. Towering over them, a grizzly beast danced, devouring all bears with such ferocity that even God enjoyed it. Afterwards, God congratulated the penguins and applauded them. "You did it!"
Suddenly, the grizzly beast started dancing vigorously. There was an acromantula nearby. It challenged the preconception that magical mushrooms were magical. Sparkling, the magical mushrooms were spreading throughout town. Nobody with pyromania thought grilled cheese would spontaneously erupt into nine identical squirrels! Nevertheless, the penguins elucidated the benefits of sparkling water from Iceland. Suddenly, Iceland exclaimed, "Enough!!! No more

hey, I applied to penn state phd with a focus on fault mechanics and stress analysis(sadly, I've had no contact with any POI). My application status is also the same as yours, so I think we don't have to worry there. Probably best to wait till feb first or second week before contacting them.

I accidentally uploaded the personal history statement of USC in UCSC and I have already submitted. I have clearly written University of Southern California, and I don't think they will overlook this one. All the other materials are just fine.
Is there any way to make up for it? Should I tell my POI about this beforehand?
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
