I would recommend living in Far West. It's inexpensive, spacious rooms, and it's a quiet neighborhood. Also, the bus stop is really close to the pharmacy building. Only problem is that it takes 15-30 minutes to ride the bus to campus because of traffic. I have only lived there for a yr but I liked it.

i live in west campus and i like it. i guess it's not too safe or quiet on the weekends but i like that it's walking distance.

if you want something more quiet, north campus/hyde park is good. it's not walking distance but definitely fine with a bike and there are plenty of bus routes.

Far West - very nice and quiet neighborhood for the older crowd (15-30 min shuttle)

West Campus - VERY close to campus in the vicinity of a lot of fraternity and sorority houses. can get very noisy on the weekends with parties. there are also shuttles. **very expensive

North Campus - also very close to campus - walking, biking, or shuttle **also expensive

Riverside Area - very very new and nice student apartment complex at with a very decent price! downside, the neighborhood around those apartments is in the ghetto. shuttles run frequently and is only 15 minutes south of IH 35
