Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine is located in Streeterville, which is one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Chicago. The city of Chicago is also home to several professional medical and research organizations. Visitors and residents enjoy the abundance of designer boutiques along the Magnificent Mile, fine restaurants, and several attractions such as Navy Pier, John Hancock Center, Museum of Contemporary Art and other recreational activities. Residents also enjoy the close proximity of lakefront parks, retail stores, theatres and accessible public transportation. In addition, to the opportunity to live in Abbott Hall or Worcester House, securing a place to live off-campus is plentiful. Most near-campus housing facilities come in the form of modern high-rise apartment complexes and condominiums. On-site property management companies usually oversee these facilities and have staff members on duty 24-hours a day to tend to the needs of their residents. Approximately 71% of students in off-campus housing live close to the University. The most POPULAR STREETERVILLE APARTMENT buildings offer great amenities, e.g., 24-hour security/door attendants, on-site retail stores, and fitness facilities just to name a few. Students also have the convenience of not having to drive or travel far to visit other parts of the city. However, some students choose to live in areas outside the campus and commute. Linda Daniels, Coordinator for Student Support Services, works with property management companies to negotiate special rental incentives for students, informs students of on-campus and off-campus housing vacancies, offers valuable tips for locating apartments in Chicago and surrounding suburbs, provides contact information for apartment buildings and apartment finder organizations.
