I have no idea how to set up my PM! Oh well, it was a stapled packet of papers that lists apartments that students typically rent in the area. It didn't list amenities or anything like that...pretty bare bones, but it did list prices and how many bedrooms, etc. At the top of the sheet, it says that the prices are good as of December 2001, which is somewhat current. I received another packet a day later with a Rochester "Apartment Directory", which is nothing more than a big advertisement for luxury apartments and townhomes. It didn't give any prices, but I am assuming that the info given in the "Directory" is more for families and people who can afford nicer places than starving medical students. Actually, I got another packet with financial aid info, and it says that when financial aid packages are calculated, more than $740 is alloted for rent per month for each student. Not bad, when most of the listings in the student apartment list were in the $500 range for studio/one bedroom places. Even so, I keep hearing that the market is tight right now, and if you are thinking about finding a place there (assuming you have made your decision) then to do it soon. I also found a good resource on the net that lists a few current listings in the Rochester area, although most of the places, again, were a little upscale. Again, most decent studios/one-bedrooms were in the $500-600 range. The page also has good info on moving costs, etc. <a href="http://www.medhunters.com/MHHomeFair.html." target="_blank">http://www.medhunters.com/MHHomeFair.html.</a> Happy hunting. By the way, have you made a decision yet? It took me a good week of soul searching before I settled on a decision. It's so nice to finally say that I'm going to Mayo, instead of "I don't know yet". It's just a huge relief to make a firm decision. I hope you are there too.
at UF, does this occur at all or am i dreaming?
