I am just about certain the UW housing policies do not allow pets. You could get away with fish, I suspect, but nothing more.

No idea about apartment prices ... it's been 20 years since I last looked into apartments here, so your research is more valid than my memories.

I like Ravenna,Maple leaf,Northgate. Not close to the UW,but close enough. Those are just my personal picks,but check out Fremont,Ballard, or even Freelard!(joke)Phinney Ridge is nice too.

Good luck

Well, right now I'm in a one-bedroom for $385, but I realize there's no chance of finding anything that cheap in Seattle. (Heck, even for Spokane this one is cheap.) It's hard to say what price range would be best without knowing what job I can pick up over there and how much financial aid I can swing. Looking at Craigslist, I guess $900 is pretty standard for a one-bedroom?
Radford Court does allow pets. Radford Court seems to be a mix of grad students, families and visiting faculty and also open to the public. It is the more expensive option in terms of living on campus but it is nice and new and convienient. Radford Court (http://www.radfordcourt.com/join.htm - broken link)

We pay $800 a month for a brand new oversized condo with a private gym and pool which are also impeccable. The catch is we live 20 min north of the University in South Everett. Much quieter out here, and anytime I need the U-district action I jump on I-5. Disclaimer, I've lived in the U and nearby Ravenna and wouldn't trade for the noise or small/old apartments anytime. Surely others would disagree that you HAVE TO LIVE on campus, especially if you have 9am classes - which I don't!

Is the Bothell Campus an option for you?

A lot depends on whether you like parties and loud music at night, or despise them. If you don't like them, don't move into the U-district unless the apartment says very specifically that it's quiet - and even then you should go by there on a friday or saturday night to make sure.

If you can handle the cost of a one-bedroom, go for it. If not, studios work for most people. If that's too costly, you can get a private room in a shared apartment - that's a step up from a dorm, and sometimes it works out. That's what I did in college. It was a definite relief after having a roommate in a dorm.

At this time financial aid should be enough for a studio if you are thrifty. That doesn't necessarily mean that financial aid will be as abundant two years from now, given the deteriorating economy.
