Hello all! I'm currently looking to move to Minneapolis in June and wanted to know about Near north. The area im looking at specifically is Old Highland. What are your thoughts? Is it really as dangerous as North mn? There are some really beautiful and relatively cheap apartments here that seem to outweigh anything I can find in uptown or dinkytown. http://www.oldhighland.org/ I've also seen the Arts institute apartments but I emailed 3 times and no word back! Also, I found a crime map that said Whittier is about the same as near north in crime. Anyone know of how these measure up?

Thanks for all the kind words! I have been seeing multiple acceptances on the boards (and in my current MA department) and was begining to get nervous! I know that many apply and I AM so grateful but I can help but questions myself. This might be because I applied to 10 2 years ago and was rejected from all--yikes! I know it's not the end but it's helpful to know there are others like me.

So, I feel like a tool for even posting this so go easy on me! Are multiple acceptances a good gauge of how prepared/ well off a person is to go into their PhD. I have gotten 1 acceptance at a big state U, but that is it. I'm grateful and excited but now I'm REALLY nervous! Maybe the other schools are on to something?! I know there are lots of reasons for rejections (no funding, fit, faculty, test scores, who you know) but I can't help but think I'm going to fail. Are other people feeling this way too? Or, am I some kind of mutant perfectionist?
