Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some tips and insights for finding a roommate or sublet in Chicago for your 2026 SA role:
Preferred Neighborhoods: Popular areas for finance professionals include River North, South Loop, West Loop, and anywhere within a 1-mile radius of the Loop. These neighborhoods are convenient for commuting and offer a good mix of amenities.
Budget: Previous threads suggest budgets around $1,400/month for shared housing. Adjust based on your preferences and the current market.
Sublet Opportunities: UChicago students often sublet their apartments during the summer. These are typically high-quality apartments and can be a great option.
