Seeing as how you or yours is/are headed to UIC, you might even want to look into this place, which will set you back a whopping $0.00 per year if you are a student:
UIC Campus Recreation - SRF |

That's why you need to live near campus. Life is much easier down here. |

Yeah I'm beginning to realize that but I don't know where.! Whats close to campus? University Village?
What else would be close and convenient?
I think everyones definition of convenient is different. I really like to have the world at my door step.
And yes I know I wont find that unless I live in the city but I was just using that for reference. I am willing to compromise for my husbands sake. Hes the one who will be going to school full time and working.
So what do you think? |

I think walking to school everyday is pretty hard to beat
I think riding a bike to work in the Loop 'cause you are less than three miles away is pretty hard to beat, too.
But that's just me. I'm weird.

whoa
Riding you bike 3 miles to get to work?
Yeah that would so not work for me. lol
Thats just funny to think about it.
I seriously doubt my husband would bike too besides I probably wouldnt let him anyways. I would be too worried for his personal safety on the streets.
