Career Resources
Based on previous WSO threads, Chicago is a popular city for summer analysts, and finding a roommate or sublet early is a smart move. Here are some tips and insights:
Preferred Neighborhoods: Many SAs in Chicago prefer areas like River North, South Loop, West Loop, or anywhere within a 1-mile radius of The Loop. These areas are close to major offices and offer convenient commutes.
Budget: From past threads, budgets for shared housing typically range from $1,200 to $1,500 per person, depending on the location and amenities.
Sublet Options: UChicago students often sublet their apartments during the summer. These are usually high-quality apartments and can be a great option for short-term stays.
Networking for Roommates: Post your details (budget, preferred area, and roommate preferences) on platforms like WSO, LinkedIn, or even Facebook groups for incoming interns. Many others are in the same boat and looking to connect.
If you're open to sublets, you might also want to check out listings on platforms like Craigslist, Apartments.com, or even reach out to local universities for summer housing options. Good luck locking down a great spot!
