ploy

thank so much you're really helpful

i'm considering going to Rutgers this coming fall. i will be studying Master in Economics there. I have been reading a lot about the grad student housing, but still not sure where should be living. I mean i know i suppose to be avoiding the whole undergrad loud surrounding and all, but I am an international student. So i still want to hang out with and enjoy the culture. Also, i dont think i'll be buying a car (i cant drive all that well), is it difficult to get around say for grocery shopping and all? Do i need a bike, would that be safe to bike in snow? is there a cab available from the nearest airport since i'll being carry huge luggages, are they outrageously expensive? would monthly expense $1,350 enough to get by? (excluding the tuition fee) and since im a girl i need to ask this, are there lot of mall and shopping complex near the university? thank
