Is suburban Apartments any good? I walked by on a long walk around town and saw that they're solar powered and they have cheap electric and some units I hear have fully covered utilities and it's all 800 for rent. Hows management? Any issues with the space? What are y'all's opinions? (I know there's other reviews Abt it but that was 2 years ago so I wanted updates!)

Other Question Jobs near niu / In dekalb

10 Upvotes

Jobs near niu / in dekalb ? I drive so I don’t mind some distance, I have majority of my experience in restaurants, specifically boh / line cook. Open to almost anything tho, not rlly campus jobs tho bc they only pay like $15 and I currently make $21 at my current job, my current job has a location in st Charles about 25 miles from campus but idk if that drive would be worth it ? 50 miles a shift, already have a high mileage car, and with class during the week I mostly would work nights or weekends, I live and work in the city but to keep my current job I would need my availability to be atleast 3 shifts a week with no big gaps, I could drive to Chicago every weekend to work but I also don’t wanna miss out on whatever I may miss out on in college working my weekends away esp since it’s my first year😭 so also asking for opinions on that.

Housing and Apartments Finding out who my roommates are?

3 Upvotes

I'm an incoming freshman and I don't like going into new social situations blind (especially one as big as living with someone else), so I want to get to know my roommates before move-in day. Is there a way to find out who my roommates are and talk to them? Neither Starrez nor "My Roommate Lookup" show anything.
