A note for anyone looking for apartments on craigslist: be careful posting in the housing wanted section. I posted an ad there, and so far I've received nothing legitimate, just a bunch of housing grant scams.

Thanks, Chris. I probably will try to find a place downtown. Have you ever used the website boilerapartments.com? It seems like a nice database. Tugboat: I am going to be in the MFA program there. I wish I could tell you whether or not the incoming class was full yet, but I honestly don't know. Best of luck.

Thanks for the info. I've read about a smoking ban of some kind being in the works -- perhaps even statewide. That's good to hear about Nine Irish Brothers, Chris. I'm definitely headed to Purdue this Fall now. I made my commitment this Friday. So if any one has any advice on renting an apartment I'm all ears.

Hi, I was wondering about the smoking law situation in Lafayette/West Lafayette. I know this makes me sound like an effete east coaster, but I've grown quite used to not smelling like smoke and coughing up a lung every time I want to grab beer. Am I just going to be miserable about this if I live in Lafayette? I know West Lafayette is smoke free, but that's mostly an undergraduate scene, right? Lafayette seems to be the place where graduate students live and hang out (when they have the time to hang out). Unfortunately, (for me) it seems the town still permits smoking in bars. Please correct me if I'm wrong, though. I read on here someone thought that would be changing soon. Is there any truth to that comment? And before you judge, this isn't my primary concern when looking at a grad school, but it is something I'm curious about. Thanks for any information.
