Anyone have experience in trying to negotiate scholarships? I know what to say but not sure if I should call the admissions office or send an email.

Let's bring some life to this thread.
It could be early but can we have some discussion around housing options? what is the ideal option for international students with family? I heard that many of them live near hyde park but also heard about safety issues there. Is it still true or it has changed? Hows the option of Millinium park plaza for families? Also i found that MPP and Loop area in general are relatively costlier.

Here are my two cents after chatting with several current students/alums: most married people live around south loop/Chinatown area, which is several blocks south of Downtown/the Loop/MPP etc. South Loop apartments are usually several hundred dollars cheaper and larger than those in the loop, also with affordable parking cost if you have a car. While the main advantage of living in the MPP ect. seems to be in the center of the Booth social universe -- not just for parties but also "networking" with 2nd years when you need to figure things (recruiting etc.) out from them.
