Hey Alvin,

My name is Mario and I am all set to start in Jan 14 as well. Where about in Chicago do you live? I've been living in Chicago since 2012 but I am originally from Houston, TX. Considering a roommate but more than likely will stick with a 1BR unit. Would be nice to meet some folks prior to starting in Jan. Sure there will be more coming from Chicago. Just let me know. 

Mario
