I will be at the TA training for poli sci

I talked to some of the current grad students about where to live and they gave me a lot of helpful information. Plus I emailed the tenant union and they were incredibly helpful. Basically you email them the companies you are looking at renting with and they give you all the information about them including complaint records. You can also give them the specific details about the type of place you are looking for/location and they will tell you which places meet your qualifications.

Hey everyone! I will be attending Illinois for the political science PhD program, I plan to visit at the end of May to look for apartments and move there in the beginning of August.

Hi I will be visiting Urbana-Champaign this weekend for a campus visit and I am flying into the campus airport (recommended by the department/they are paying for it) but if I end up at Illinois this is certainly not my plan for how to get there in the future. I know that there is an Illini bus system that goes back and forth from campus to Chicago for about $20 - $40ish (http://www.illinishuttle.com/). In terms of Chicago I think I would prefer the bus/train system as compared to driving but that might just be my own preference. @badgerslp, I will also be in a hotel this weekend and I am in need of places to walk to as well so if anyone knows please let us know!

Is anyone visiting Illinois?
