Hey everyone - congrats on your acceptance to Booth! I hope you all decide to enroll, as a current 2nd year I envy the position you all are in, having an opportunity to
start a 2 year journey at Booth rather than wind down.
I'd like to throw in a plug for the South Loop, one of the up and coming neighborhoods in Downtown that has more and more Boothies from each new class, is less expensive than the downtown area, and - most importantly - has some neighborhood charm. Its also slightly closer to Hyde Park so your commute time will be lower. There are a couple large high-rise apartments where Booth students live (1212 S. Michigan, 1130 S. Michigan, Sky55) and several condos with units for rent.
If you have any questions about housing and Booth in general feel free to PM me...
