Thanks for your response Charabanc, it's really helpful! I see you're in the CW program--I sent you a PM as I've been offered a spot in that program, and I have a quick question that's off-topic for this thread. Thanks again!

BUMP. looks like i'll be moving to lawrence for grad school this fall. lots of great information here so far! i wonder if anyone can describe the different neighborhoods & offer advice about which ones might be fairly affordable in terms of housing. i'm also hoping to stay away from a bunch of partying undergrads; a low-key somewhat family-friendly neighborhood would be nice, with proximity to some smaller independent coffee shops & some low-key dive bars. also, i'm hoping to live along a campus bus route & to ride my bike to campus (though some in here have said that's not too easy). i've mainly lived in mid-to-large cities for the last 20 years (st. louis, chicago, nyc), so the prospect of moving to a smaller college town is kind of new, though not totally unfamiliar (i also lived in new haven; new haven *sucks*). i'm mostly used to hanging out in my immediate neighborhood for stuff to do. so yeah, what are the different neighborhoods like, & what ones might be interesting--but also decent for a young family?

thanks! i called, but got transferred a bunch of times.

anyone else still not heard anything?
