Hi, I have been accepted to the Materials Science (PhD) at Northwestern. I recently visited NU and from what i have heard it is hard to find housing on campus, let alone it being expensive. Most apartments in and around evanston go for about $750 (Studio/1bd rm) and two bedrooms are about $1100. I still haven't made up my mind whether to stay in a studio all by myself or in a 2 bedroom with a room mate. I'd say craigslist is the best place to look for apts or apartmentpeople.com.
