Any ideas on decent off campus housing?

All good ideas! I love Shadyside and feel it would be better than him living in a less desirable area just to be closer to the university. Good to know about the odds of getting into Bouquet Gardens! In my original post, I stated that my son will be a freshman. This is an error, he is a freshman now and will be a sophomore next school year ;^) I’m not that permissive, to let him live off-campus his first year!!! Don’t even think it’s a good idea for next year, but his grades are good so I hate to argue. I might go ahead and pay the $325 housing just in case it doesn’t work out. Then, maybe he will get into Bouquet Gardens for the following year. Don’t want him to be out of the on-campus housing loop, which is what I hear happens if you do not pay that fee each year.
