thedelstar Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Hey team, I'm joining Brandeis Chem this fall, and I'm excited to meet you all. Ha! What program are you going to be in? I'm actually headed up next week for a visit/check out housing in the area. What are your thoughts on where you want to live? Cheers and Congrats!
-Star- Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I'm headed to the MCB program. Congrats to you as well.
beatnix Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I'm heading to the History PhD program! Congrats to everyone!
nhyn Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 heading there for Psych PhD as well. Are you guys looking for housing yet? I'm having major trouble finding housing for Sept (tried looking for June places but nothing to my liking; since it will be long term I'm being very, very picky). Let me know if you need advice on location! I've received some really good advice and have seen a couple of places so far so I have a decent idea of where to live depending on what you want ^^

Despite this advice I continue to trawl craigslist looking for anything near Porter Square!

Despite this advice I continue to trawl craigslist looking for anything near Porter Square! I see - no wonder. It's so weird though because I've had to look for places near Cambridge before and it wasn't that hard to find September postings around April. Of course there are a LOT more of them in May and June, but still... I think you do want to keep track of postings from now if you're looking at Porter Square as it's a busy area and I'm sure (I have seen them) there are already postings for September. Anyway, I compromised and 1/paid an agent 2/chose a place w/o laundry on site (figured it's not that big of a deal to walk a few minutes for laundry). Found a good place near Waltham Common...I would have LOVED to live near Porter Sq. but we're 2 people and it's hard to find a place with decent space and affordable rent for 2 people there
thedelstar Posted May 7, 2011 Author Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) I decided to head up early( in june) to start my research so I've got a place already picked out . A room in a house in Davis Square. Edited May 7, 2011 by thedelstar
