Feel free to contact me about anything you'd like that you need advice on (with the exception of intricacies of the econ dept itself). I've been in College Station for about 5 years (I did my undergraduate here too).

Hi I've been to college station briefly. But would appreciate if you recommend on campus or off campus housing options. Advantages and disadvantages. Costs,distances to the Econ Dept,security issues,etc.
Do you recommend phd students to live alone or to share an apartment with other phd students,master students, undergraduate students? Do you recommend to buy meal plans at Texas A&M U?, because the Econ Dept is really far from main campus, and in case one doesn't have a car then you must be waiting for the bus to go to main campus to eat and then wait again for the bus to go back to the Econ Dept. This will be a large loss of time. The problem is that there are no meal facilities close to the Econ Dept. At the Econ Dept we heard they only have a small cafeteria. Thank you for your assistance
