do you plan to live off-campus during your first year?
there is a new community near ICO that will be built over the next couple of years. i plan to live in the RC during my first year, and then possibly move out afterward. since i live in chicago but can't study at home, i'm trying to convince my parents to invest in a condo in that area. i doubt that it will be completed during our first year though.
