Updaaaaaate: More on Housing

Ed. note: Put this in a new post because that last one was getting really long. Anyone know how to do cuts in Blogger?

Mike G., Dale's assistant (and YDS's in-house WolframAlpha), points out that for off-campus housing options (that is, those not run by Yale), you should also check out the Yale rentals website. They've also got a link on the left for those interested in buying property, and ones below for looking for roommates, as well as a few links of resources for tenants. (Sadly, the "How Much Rent Can I Afford?" link doesn't work ... perhaps indicative of the fact that I can't, actually, afford any rent? Did it work for anyone else?)

The Yale Off-Campus Rentals Database is sort of a Yale-specific Criagslist, and might be the most valuable thing on there, in my opinion. Their area profiles, although not super-helpful, are kind of adorable and fun, and I am going to send you them again in an email.

Mike says he found his apartment through here, and that there are 4.805 people born every hour in Connecticut, which is good enough for me.

(With apologies to anyone who, like me, is now going to spend three hours on WolframAlpha.)
