I'd recommend Pilsen or Bridgeport. UIC is close to South Chicago, so cheaper places are likely to be in sketchy neighborhoods. I would say find an apartment in a place like Bridgeport and then look for cheaper places once you have a feel for the city. Logan Square is fun, but I don't know how affordable it is.

Thanks for the advice! What about Uptown? That was the only other place I'd been recommended.

Hi there,

 

I was moving to attend UIC and was looking for advice: the graduate accommodation there appears quite cramped/sterile, and so I was looking for my own studio. I've heard good things about Pilsen/Bridgeport, as well as Logan Square (I'm a hipster). Can anyone else recommend any neighbourhoods I may have missed, that's quite cheap, and close to the L? 

 

Thanks in advance

[How common are phone interviews for Comm?]

I got a phone interview for UIC's program asking me to "get more information about my application". On the plus side it's six days after their (revised) deadline but on the other hand, terrifying phone interview.
