hi everyone! philly native here, but i’ve never biked through the city. my husband and i are moving back to the city for him to do medical rotations at temple, but we’re staying in west (where i’m from & where my family is). he wants to bike (40-50 mins) to temple and my mom is saying that’s insane. i know so many people regularly bike, but growing up here i saw years ago people get into mad fights & accidents with the crazy ass drivers in the city. is biking a good idea or what should he do to get into north?

mind you, i’m a west girl & only went to the city to south for school, so i don’t have much experience going up to temple’s campus. any suggestions would be helpful & i heard the L has gotten horrible since covid so idk if that’s a good alternative (an hour from west via L).

I'm moving to Chicago in a month and have been on Medicaid (first-gen/low-income student) in my home state. I am trying to move my Medicaid coverage from PA to IL, and I recently submitted the application online. I wanted to ask others who have moved to Chicago and applied what the timeline was like for receiving a response, and, if you moved here to become a student at a Chicago/IL University, what the process was like? Was it easy? Was it difficult? Did you have to go back and forth for documents? Is it common to get rejected?

My parents applied for my Medicaid when I was a child, so this is my first time doing this. I just want to know what to expect after I submit the online application and documentation (I submitted my University commitment letter and my lease). Thank you so much!

Also, if you have Medicaid coverage, how well does it cover your treatment? I have a few chronic illnesses that necessitate recurring and active treatment. My Medicaid in PA covers all of it; I hope for the same in IL. Please let me know!
