Apartment Hunting

I didn't know it would be this complicated, but I guess I should have known - considering I'm doing a cross-country move. I'm moving from Los Angeles, California to Stony Brook, New York. Why? Yeah, I've been asked that many many times, even after I tell them my reason. I'm going back to school. Why? Why indeed. That's a whole 'nuther post. :) So, I've been browsing websites like crazy lately it seems - Craig's List primarily, and some others - to look for housing. I've chosen to live off-campus for several reasons - one of them being a strong desire to live on my own, sans roommates. On-campus housing doesn't offer that option for me as a graduate student, unfortunately. I've finally decided that I can't just do the internet thing; I have to go and visit, check out the apartments, settle on one, and then come back to ship my stuff. But even that visit to NY seems to bring with it complications. Ah well....all details to sort out. Fun
