Hope everyone's doing well!

I'll be attending grad school at UNC in the fall. I want to get a better understanding from locals of what current rents are like in both Durham and Chapel Hill, and how much I should expect to pay in terms of the overall COL.

FWIW—I currently live in Charlotte with family and have spent limited time in the Triangle. I'll have my car and am willing to drive about 20-30 minutes away from campus (at most) if it saves some money. I don't have a strict budget yet, since I'm still getting familiar with the Triangle; I just want to know what to expect on average.

Lastly, I'd like to move in by August 1. Ideally, I'd like to live in a cheap studio or one-bedroom apartment if possible, but I figure that's probably a stretch, so I'm fine with 1-2 roommates if the rent is that much cheaper. Any recommendations regarding apartment complexes/realtors to look into or avoid would be greatly appreciated!

Hope everyone’s doing well!

I’ll be attending university in the fall for a master’s degree in urban planning. It’s no secret that urban planners and engineers often have different perspectives and levels of knowledge on a number of topics. Urban planners seem to be idealistic and sometimes unrealistic, while engineers generally seem more pragmatic in their approach (for obvious reasons).

As someone who wants to be as knowledgeable in the field as I can, what can I do to better understand important engineering principles and not be so aloof? I want to be a planner that engineers enjoy working with, and I want to excel in my work.

If you can share anything you think I should study or any resources you think I should look into, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hope everyone’s doing well!

I was recently offered admission for a top Urban Planning master’s program in the U.S. I picked Transportation Planning and Economic Development as my two main interests, and I’m curious to know what you all think would be the best specialization to pick that could offer the most flexibility and career opportunities.

While transportation is what I typically gravitate towards, I also see a lot of opportunities when it comes to economic development.

Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!
