Hi, I am an international student and I will be attending UChicago, so I am trying to figure out the housing situation from abroad. Would it be a bad idea to sublet a room which is available for the fall quarter and then look for a place to sign a longer lease? This has the advantage of actually being able to see the place in person and having a better idea of the exact area I want to live at. Will it be much harder to find a good deal for a room/studio starting from January?
Thanks
