After you live on your own for a while, all you need is somewhere to buy the necessary groceries for cheap and the Safeway on Shattuck Ave. and Vine St. never disappoints. If you like eating out, I don’t see why the restaurants in Shattuck ave. (such as Bangkok noodle, Cheeseboard) aren’t as appreciated as the one in Southside. I am definitely biased towards Northside, because it is less crowded and noisy and no hobos and the rent pricing is bit better too for the room size compared to Southside.

However though, from my experience, all it matters is

1. Location

2. Location

3. Roommate. If he/she’s currently your roommate in your dorm, make sure he/she can be a good apartment-mate. I had a serious issue regarding this and it’s my fault for not realizing living in an apartment requires much more maturity than living in a dorm.
