Which apartments do you suggest living in?
Sov or Brutus are both across the street/1 block from the dental school. Both are around 700 a month for a one bedroom and are safe (most kids live here and this is what I would recommend - I like Brutus a little more).
The Edge is a little nicer but they only have 2 bedrooms so you'd need a roommate but this is also across the street and safe.
Nicer apartments on campus are Moderne Living and The Marq, these are going to be a little more expensive and probably not worth the extra 200-300 a month and are a further walk.
If you wanna live off campus I'd suggest upper walkers point/fifth ward (South Water Works/Fifth Ward Lofts but over 1k a month), Riverwest (nice 1 or 2 bedroom duplexes for around $800 a month), the upper east side (tons of apartments here near Whole Foods but also will run you $1k+), or like Wauwatosa if you don't care about city life at all.
Like I said, I lived off campus D1 (South Water Works) and it was nice but the first two years of dental school are too busy to enjoy living in a nicer area. I would suggest living right next to the school and saving time and money then moving off campus in a nicer area for D3/D4.
Additionally, if you have the money for a down payment another option is purchasing a condo. I know a few people who did this and ended up making some money after D4. You basically have a guaranteed tenant for 4 years and then you can either keep the property as an investment or sell it after 4 years. I definitely wish I would've been able to do this but didn't have the money at the time.
Also congrats to everyone that got it. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
