Can we keep this thread going? Especially, information related to Housing Search, living situations, and other F13 applicants who are dealing with this. When are people planning to house hunt, etc?

Any Fall 2013 persons-- info on Housing, Apartment/House search, room mate situations, etc? I'm concerned about a 16.5K stipend (although research suggests that others have found this adequate) with Housing in a *good* area--and not near large/loud undergraduate parties. Any other thoughts out there? Anyone know Newark area well enough to answer this, and/or send some tips about Housing/things to be aware of?

In regards to the 1500- as in general test (Q+A=1500). I go this straight from the previous head of department in Spring 2011. He stated that the use the GRE as a general way to begin to weed through their 700 or so candidates, so if you want to be looked at strongly right off the bat, having a high GRE score will grab attention

Penn State will tell you that they unofficially look for around a 1500 combined score although they admit on a case-by-case basis.
