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.
