Will
I need a car?
You
don't really need a car in Evanston. Your decision
might be influenced by the location of your residence.
If you live near campus, you can walk to school
and to most shops. The mass transit system is
close by, and it's cheap and easy to use it to
get to Chicago. Two major drawbacks to having
a car are that parking in Evanston can be a big
hassle and cars take a beating during the winter.
A car will, however, provide you more freedom
to shop, explore and get away on weekend trips.
Plus, you'll make lots of friends when you offer
to drive downtown.
When
should I start looking for housing? Move in?
The
earlier you start (by mid-summer), the bigger
the selection. Don't be afraid to get a two-bedroom
apartment by yourself if you are looking in June
or early July. You'll make quick friends with
those dreading the apartment search.
Most
Kellogg students move in around September 1.
