hey, so has anyone been admitted to the CCLCM program? if not, does anyone know when the decisions are mailed/e-mailed out? thanx guys
I know they give 2 rounds of admissions and I know they are meeting some time before the end of the year, then again mid January, then again mid February... I guess that's not very helpful...
Hi, I was admitted a little more than a month ago, and although the application cycle isn't over yet, I'm planning everything around the early start date in July. Anyways, my question is about getting a place to live for my 4 years. Where I'm from, it requires half a year in advance to get a good place. I'd like to start familiarizing myself with some of the places where students live. If you current students have any websites/realty companies that are decent, could you post them? No rush. In the larger scheme of things, this is still a forum for applications.
There are generally 3 areas you would be looking to live in closer to campus: Little Italy, Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights. There's also Hessler Rd I suppose, but those houses are seriously old (it's a quaint historic district)... I'm personally not a fan, but if you're looking for cheap, that's the way to go. I have honestly lucked out with individual landlords that own one or a few places. I would stay away from big realty companies (I know Montlack Realty is something you want to stay away from).
Pricey but nice, right on campus: The Triangle (

http://www.paranmgt.com/waldorf/). A little bit aways from campus, but not too bad of an area are the Kensington place apartments (
http://www.kensingtonplaceapartments.com/) (it's right next to a center that has a Dave's Grocery store, Bally's Fitness, a Regal Cinema, Walmart, Home Depot ...) .
Generally I have 4 ways of looking for apartments: craigslist, the Case forum (forum.case.edu), and these listings:
http://studentaffairs.case.edu/living/services/aloha/Search/Default.aspx or just driving around and looking for signs up that say "for rent" (honestly most effective way).
I currently live in Shaker Heights, but I honestly preferred Cleveland Heights for several reasons: Coventry in Cleveland Heights is more designed for students, places are open relatively late and there are usually other students around the area. Over here, there are some really nice restaurants and coffee shops between Larchmere and Shaker Square, but they close at like 9... Not as many students walking around.
Ok, that's all I have for now.
I look forward to checking into this thread as much as I like reading my favorite comics, Dilbert and Luann!
