  1. Thanks. I was hoping to rely on transit, but driving is also an option. Is driving between Bridgeport/UChicago/UIC any more painful than to be expected for city driving?

    Its really not too bad, for city driving. Obviously rush hour times are going to be worse. Parking near UIC is difficult or expensive, but you can usually find street parking down by Uchicago for free if you know where to look. Bridgeport is right in between the two campuses, and its about 15 minutes drive away from each. You can also get to UIC by taking the Halsted bus north (which would take you about a half hour) from there.

  2. I've accepted USC's offer, and will be moving to LA from a different state. I'm looking for a long-term roommate (approx 4 years), male and female are both fine, my only request is that you are a non-smoker. I have 2 small dogs and a cat who are very friendly and loving, and I have a car if you'd like to carpool. I haven't found a place yet, but I'm open to searching with you (I've been recommended neighborhoods like Culver City, Silverlake or Los Feliz) for an apartment or house to rent.

    PM me please if you're interested? :)

    gah! If only I didn't ALSO have cats that need to come with me! Too many pets in one household.... I've also accepted USC's offer for grad school and am looking for a roommate. Girl or guy is fine. I do have a car for carpooling/groceries/etc. I have 3 cats. I haven't found a place yet, but I would be open to looking with someone if anyone is interested. Any suggestions as to the best websites to look for housing near USC?

  3. Bumping this thread. I was wait listed at at UMinnesota today. Everything I hear about the Twin Cities is great!

    It seems public transportation is good, but I'm wondering if you can get by without a car at all.

    Hi there, I went to UMN for my undergrad and while you definitely dont HAVE to have a car, it does make things a bit easier. Getting around within the city or down to the Airport/Mall is easy enough sans car, but you really cant get to the suburbs in anything resembling a quick fashion without one. There aren't really any satellite trains at the moment that go out east, north, or west. But, usually everyone knows SOMEONE with a car, and we tend to be pretty friendly about ride-sharing.

  4. Would anyone recommend a neighborhood between UChicago and UIC?

    Are you going to have a car or are you trying to take mass transit? Bridgeport is nice but its a bit off a convenient train line. Getting a place somewhere in the loop would be a better option for transit, but also more expensive
