I'm in the process of narrowing down options for law school, and I'm seriously considering FIU. I know it's somewhat lacking in the prestige department outside of South Florida, but it's a viable plan 'B' in case I don't get above a 160 on the LSAT. I'm from Atlanta and I love South Florida. I lived in South America for a number of years, so the language and culture are a plus for my wife and I.

I recently discovered that FIU Law students are ineligible for Married Housing due to the longer semester duration of the Law program, especially for 1Ls. I just finished up at BYU in Utah and we'll be moving soon. We will be selling most of our furniture and packing the rest of our personal effects into my Honda Civic.

1) Is there a such thing as a decently furnished apartment within a mile of FIU for around $800/mo including utilities?

2) Are there any particular areas, such as Doral, that are particularly suited for young married students?

3) What are some of the nicer apartments complexes in the area for under $900/mo? Am I chasing a unicorn, or is it plausible?

If any Law students at FIU, or any students for that matter, wish to comment I would appreciate any insight. Thanks

FIU is not that advanced yet... it is still stuck in the "glory days" of being an overgrown community college for immigrants.

Wow, maybe you're still stuck in those glory days, but FIU left those days years ago.

Hi,

My name is Andrea, I am a former UM student and need to rent my 1/1 apartment located at Brickell Roads. I just got married last august and moved to South America. A friend who was currently renting it is graduating from a UM grad program and moving. Available June 1.

There are three other UM Grad Med students in the building. I own this apartment; it is a new small cozy building in a great location. Isn't fancy, elegant or big. It is close to Publix, Walgreens, 95 and in walking distance from Miami Metro-Rail and Metro. All neighbors are young professional. In Brickell you would find many large buildings with great luxury amenities but half empty. Due to the economy many buildings are closing their pools and lowering their maintenance schedules so be aware of Monthly SALES around because large buildings are full of foreclosures and you dont want that.

You will have your (1) private Parking Space inside and there is free parking around the building for visitors, beside the visitor parking spaces that can be use by resident vehicles. I just change the floors, so it hardwood floors. I also remodeled the bedroom and built a Walk-in Closet last November. The kitchen is brand new and with granite countertop. The building has a small Gym and a nice view to Brickell skyline. This apt is located in the 4th Floor. (4 floor building)

I am asking $950 a month (Internet, water and alarm included). Pets Ok and the building is right in front of a park.

The building only has 34 units and mainly owners so that keeps the place alive, clean and safe.

Let me know if you want to see pictures. Is a 5 minute drive to UM campus I used to commute everyday and is the best area of MIAMI. Several FIU students living in Brickell is a 15 minute drive.
