Why don't you guys just email or call the departments? What is it going to hurt at this point?

I just keep checking the results page and try to find solace that no one has heard back from the programs I applied to.
I'm so worried though. I have yet to find ANYONE else in this entire forum that has only applied to one school. I guess I just don't want to settle for a plan B. What's wrong with me!?!?!? AHHHH!!!!
I also applied to only one program. It's stressful to have so much riding on a single decision!

IF I get in, I will continue working (full time lab tech) until about a month before school starts, drive out and find a place, and then take it easy for a few weeks.

Chicago: $650-750 for 1 bedroom, $750-850 for 2 bedroom (looking in Bridgeport, probably, but also considering Hyde Park itself)
....
If these rates sound wrong to anyone already living in these areas, PLEASE let me know! This first shot, I went for average prices, instead of trying to find the lowest possible. I know that, in Chicago at least, the lowest advertised prices are usually scams of some kind... or REALLY bad and really far from where you wanted to live.
I've lived in Hyde Park for the past 5 years. The cheapest 1 bedrooms are going to be $800+. My boyfriend and I currently pay $885 for a 540 square foot 1bed/1bath. You can find places a bit cheaper than this if you go south of 60th street, but it's not the safest area.
I don't know much about Bridgeport, other than the fact that a coworker lives there and has an easy commute to Hyde Park on the #4 bus.
If you have any questions about Hyde Park or the rental market here, let me know.
Who else has still heard nothing from a school?

I'm still waiting on the only school I applied to. It's frustrating!
