Hi everyone! I'm about to accept my place in the Korbel School for the MA International Security program. SO PUMPED to be moving to Denver - the city, the school and program, the quality of life, the breweries, etc.
While I love the idea of living in Highland, where all my friends are and which feels like the coolest neighborhood in the city, it seems more practical to live near campus in order to promote actual studying. I'm looking at the Carmel apartments (link here: http://www.carmelapartments.com/vista-student-apartments/brochure), but am sure that there are other great alternatives. For those heading out to DU this summer/fall, what are you thinking in terms of location, type of housing, costs, etc?
Coming from DC I am astounded by how cheap apartments are, but then again, I'll be responsible for my living costs so want to keep them relatively low. Also, as a female who recently got mugged in front of my apartment - in the SAFEST part of DC - and having read up on crime stats in the city, I'm nervous to be in a less than desirable area, or in an apartment set up that isn't particularly secure.
If anyone can weigh in on anything mentioned above, I'd love to hear some feedback of current students, residents, or other incoming DU folks.
Thanks!
