Right?

There's a new rule that you have to have 100 posts to use the img tags. So get posting!

I'm considering it, but man that would be rough to have to go through all this again.

I love the bi-weekly reminders we get when a random account with three posts leaves a simple "deleted" in an on-topic thread.

We're not supposed to talk about that.

A question for those admitted and have decided on attending NU or those currently at NU.. When are you guys planning on actually moving to Chicago/or when did you guys moved there?

I'm international (Canadian ) so I want to start planning early. It will be quite a move for me as I need to open an American bank account, get a drivers license.. get my visa sorted out etc.. And I have no idea how long it takes to secure a lease in America. So if anyone can weigh in, that would be great.

I'm on hold so I guess it's a little premature for me to ask all this. But I want NU so bad and I just want to be ready when they do (hopefully) give me some good news.

You can generally secure an apartment around 1 month in advance.

When I got my current apartment, I submitted my application right after I toured it (and on its first advertised day) and had a lease signed 2-3 days later. That's probably the fastest you can get it done, haha. I am renting just from a dude who owns just a couple small buildings. If you rent from a management company, it might be a little longer.

Note, I was only able to do that because I had spent a ton of time researching and looking at other places, so I knew exactly what I wanted and what I could afford. You won't be able to secure a place right now, (in Chicago, people only rent out 30-45 days in advance) but you can do your research right now so that you can expedite the process.

I have heard from out-of-staters that finding a place and moving was a bit of a pain, so try to do as much as you can remotely ahead of time. Getting all that other stuff done shouldn't take too long. I would shoot for August 1? that would give you nearly an entire month.

Thanks for all the speedy response!

I'll try to do as much research as I can beforehand then considering I might not be able to get there until Mid-Aug. My current work contract (I'm in Japan now) doesn't end until early Aug. So it considerably limits my options.. sigh.

[Solistus]

My plan is to research remotely and find a few buildings to check out, then fly into Chicago sometime around late July / early August to tour some apartments and secure a lease. I'm still not sure what neighborhoods to look in, but I'll be doing a lot more research over the next couple months.

Is it generally worth it to pay a premium but be close to school?
