Hey All,

My name is Mario  (29 m/Chicago/Non-Smoker/Loves dogs) and I will be starting in Jan 14 as well. It looks like there will be a lot of places to live 1-2 bedrooms all around the island. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.real-estate.ai/">http://www.real-estate.ai/</a><!-- m --> Not sure if you all have had the chance to review this website but there are several nice places for rent. From what I've been told it is best to wait until you get to the island before you commit to an apartment. I like the idea of not having a roommate but if the place/person is right I am sure we can make it work. There is an awesome villa that I would not be opposed to splitting. However I think it would be great to have students stay in the same unit if possible. That way we wouldn't have to commute too far to study. Just a thought. Either way good luck with the search and can't wait to start this journey with you all. 

Mario
