Hi - My husband and I are gong to move to South Bend in August 2013. I'm a student at the University of Chicago, so I'm going to be commuting out of South Bend to stay in Chicago 3 days a week. We're looking for an apartment that would give me access to the bus to the airport so I can take the commuter train (the #4 bus) and close to the bus he'd take to Notre Dame (# 7). (I couldn't find any shuttle to/from the airport to Notre Dame -- too bad!). The commuter train looks like the cheapest option, and probably easiest -- but if anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know!! I'm wondering if anyone knows of good apartment buildings, or of an apartment opening up, in the downtown area. I'm also wondering what areas are safe to live in that would allow us to make this commute -- we don't have a car, so we're relying on public transport. The intersection we're looking around is Lasalle and Main roughly. Thanks for any and all help!!

Hi all -- Does anyone have any experience with the University of Chicago's graduate student housing? They seem to own a good number of buildings, but are they nice apartments? They have no interior photos posted and I can't seem to find much info online. Would you recommend going through them or looking to rent from another company? Also-- if you would recommend going through them, do you know which buildings are best? Thanks!
