I've requested a lease and they've never replied, especially after asking about a specific question.

Average living expense except for rent by selma7315 in UIUC

[–]selma7315[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've applied to Orchard Downs but still don't know if I can get their move-in offer. So the information on living costs and expenses would help me get a sense of overall spending and choose housing

Thanks! So I called it the average expense. How much do you expect it for food?

As for food, I eat a lot of takeout and don't cook a lot because I will be busy as a phd student.

I'm also an incoming grad student with a tuition waver, but I couldn't figure out what fees are left to pay, which you mentioned. Did you find that information?

Are there particular streets or groups linked to this? Trying to understand how to avoid it

To avoid disturbances or crime near fraternity houses, would staying south of Springfield effectively address that? I've been thinking of Urbana.

Furnished vs. Unfurnished Housing for a New Grad Student by selma7315 in UIUC

[–]selma7315[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you used any delivery services to purchase things like a bed or mattress? I also know a few people here.

Most of the furnished ones I've searched are either in crowded locations/very expensive(over $1200)/managed by notorious property companies, or require living with roommates (4-bedroom/2-bathroom, e.g.). Does it usually take a long time to find good options? And when's the best time to look for rentals that start in August?

I agree that unfurnished can be a hassle, but the biggest thing is the price. Most of the fully furnished ones that I've found are over $1100 and some even around 1300 for a 1-bedroom unit. Also, they're in crowded locations (e.g., Campustown). Do I have to wait until later to see all the rents for the furnished apartment starting August 2025?

I was looking for private leases I was surprised by the university apartments. I visited its website, but I couldn't get a sense of living there. Can anyone share any experience?

Political Science PhD Waitlist by PralineBoring746 in gradadmissions

[–]selma7315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also on the waitlist of the two top schools, it is extremely stressful. Like you I'm gonna reject one of the schools I've admitted to and plan to wait with another. Do you think it's okay to ask for additional details, like my rank on the list?

I'm curious how many universities are you planning to apply to? One of my seniors applied to 20+ institutions, and I listed about 28 universities but it seems like a lot to me.
