<p>All of my grad school options are out of state and too far for me to commute from home.
I was debating dorms or apartments.
Most of the school have grad housing, but it does seem limited.
I was kinda hoping to live alone and not share a house or large apartment, since you can get the mix of undergrad, grad and working.
I did see some studio apartments, kinda small, but with utilities and furniture a single room in a dorm might be cheaper.
What are everyone else’s plan for next fall?</p>
<p>Wherever I go, Im staying about 15 mins off campus in a 1 bedroom apt (should be cheaper that way)</p>
<p>I’ll be heading to NYU so I think it’ll be best for me to live on campus for the first year while I get acclimated with the city. I’m waiting to receive my housing information but I think I’ll end up getting a 2 BR apartment-style with a roommate they assign me. I know what you mean though…I would much rather live alone but from what I saw, the housing pricing was ridiculous for 1 person as opposed to 2 people.</p>
<p>I’m actually lucky enough to live with my friend who is going to grad school as well. My parent home is only 15 minutes, but like undergrad–for my sanity I’d rather not stay there…:-)</p>
<p>I’m going to Harvard, but I’ll be living in MIT family housing (go figure). :D</p>
<p>on campus - which is guaranteed for incoming grads … i just want to live within 5-10 minutes walking from my work place – i don’t know how stressful it is going to be but according to what i heard from grad students on my visiting weekend, phew … i’m bracing for the worst. Plus it’ll be really cheap if i cram in with 2-3 other people when compared to off-campus. But i already have training leaving in a really small apartment for 2 years now - i believe i can take a year more in student housing - won’t be a significant change in environment …</p>
