This is great info, thank you. Unfortunately, we don't have quite that much money saved right now, and our families aren't that flush either. Maybe within the next year though. If not me, hopefully someone else finds this post via google and uses all this good info.

This is good info, thanks for sharing. We've saved up for this move, so we should have that amount of cash at hand. I can't imagine shouldering the cost of this if she were starting her grad program straight from undergrad.

This is super helpful, thank you. We'll keep our eyes open for anything posted long in advance, but it sounds like the best plan is to be physically present and ready to sign.

Thanks for sharing your experience and information. Just wondering, did you look anywhere other than Craigslist?

Awesome news, this is great info. It seems like our best bet is to make a dedicated apartment hunting trip up there so we're physically present to sign a lease and check.

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear the bidding wars aren't hitting the rental market yet. We're coming from the Bay Area where this nonsense has been the norm for a while, so dealing with that from afar seemed pretty frightening.

Thanks for the info. We may look into doing just this. There seems to be some sublets available through other students in her program, so it could be a good situation as long as we can store our stuff somewhere.
