Hello all,
I am an R3 international student accepted to Kellogg MBA FT 2Y. I am preparing the request for financial aid and I have to select my option for housing (on / off campus).
So my questions are:
1.are on campus appartments available for r3 admitted students? Should I check with the admissions office?
2. which options are most cost effective? on or off campus?
3. where does the majority of students stay? where will it be better for me to stay?
Thank you in advance.
Hi and Congrats for joining the purple family
Where are you from btw?
1. on campus apartments will be assigned today for r1/r2 applicants, r3 applicants are put on the waitlist, but I heard that most students get a room during the summer.
2. The rent on campus / off campus is around the same (800-900 if you share >1000 for a studio) but outside you could have more space than on campus, the on campus option is much more convenient though: you pay only 9 months and you can have the room already furnished
3. 20% stay on campus, 80% off campus, but almost everyone stays in buildings between downtown evanston and campus, the admitted students website will give you more info about all those options
