I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here. Let us know if you have more (specific) questions and we can all help out.

Thanks! I was unfamiliar with this site, this looks brilliant, I'll poke around.
I plan to come early either late July or mid-August (program starts September). I have heard of this July 1st moving day; so far it seems there is plenty of availability regardless (benefit of such a big city I guess). How does that work?
Cost isn't such a concern for me (benefit of going back to school as a professional), so I don't mind paying a month of extra rent for July even if I am not there, if that is required to secure a good spot. But I won't if I don't have to. Any thoughts? If I look in July for an August lease is that a feasible thing to do?
Appreciate the feedback, can't wait to get there!
