  1. I know this thread's old, but I've recently been accepted to Portland State for their MFA program in writing. I'm still waiting on funding information, but I've gone ahead and researched apartments and houses as a way to prepare and sort of get my own finances in check. I won't be relying solely on an assistantship (if I don't get one, I have other offers standing) as my partner will be moving with me and work to supplement our income. I managed to make it through my undergrad without a student loan, and I'm hoping graduate school will miraculously go the same way (fingers crossed). How much harder is it to survive in Portland as a non-resident? Has the cost of living increased to the point that it's ridiculous? Has safety increased or decreased?
  2. I'm living off campus because my partner is coming with me, so we've been looking to move as early as June to get a head start on residency. I started looking the day after I got my acceptances, just so I have a heads up on what to expect in terms of location and proximity to the campus.
