Incoming Grad Student - Inquiries

Hello! I’m an incoming PhD student in biosciences with a few questions about grad life and housing:

  • I am on the hunt for housing as I applied for university apartments late (early/mid-April) and don’t see myself getting an offer. How much are you putting into housing (w/ utilities), and how much of this is your monthly stipend?

  • How is parking? The shuttle lot doesn’t seem terrible with the shuttle schedule. Is the 12-month permit worth it?

  • How are you keeping yourself sane? I’m interested in joining the university/campus band and am looking into biking and hiking trails. Any suggestions?

If anyone is interested in finding a roommate, I (23F) am looking for a roommate or 2 to save up on housing costs! If you have any housing reccs or know of anyone lmk! :)
