Hi all. Consider all the cliched formalities unspoken, but meant (great site! great resource!)
My husband and I are moving to Providence in August so that I can go back to school at RISD. The google map hack is extremely helpful for location, but I'm also seeking a bit more advice.
For instance, I need to be at RISD for 6 weeks this summer. Hubby is unable to come because of work, and we talked about me just living in the dorms for convienience sake for those 6 weeks (hmmm...dorm life at 27). My question is : when is the best time to rent? Should I try to secure something sooner (before I go up for the summer) or later (August)? I love Craigslist, but also remember someone mentioning that the best apts. are found just walking around. True?
Also, we'll be bringing up 2 cars...but I want to be within walking distance to RISD. Do you think it'll be possible to find parking for our vehicles?
Thanks so much for your help!
