Yeah, I only applied to Regents to secure a 1 br as a safety. Depending on what I can find online, I might go back up this summer to tour some more places. The only problem I'm having is that the places that I like are about $400-500 more per month, so right now Regents is still looking like the default.
What do you have against the cheap places I posted?

Too many links; didn't click. (tml;dc)

Edit: Also, upon looking at some, they are too far south. If I live in HP, it will be Regents most likely. The other places I'm looking at are in like the South Loop. Also, the couple of your links I looked at seem several blocks at least from the UC shuttle lines.

That actually looks pretty decent. I'm not a big fan of studios and i'd like a dishwasher but it's hard to beat that price. Any idea how far of a walk it is from the law school? Is there a bus route that will take you to the law school?

Edit: googled it, looks like a 15 minute walk. you can take the bus down a few blocks but you still have to walk the last few blocks to the law school, and it looks like it's a 10 minute trip by bus/walk

Around the corner from the Dorchester place we looked at - btwn 57 and 58th. Haven't checked on the bus yet TBH, but I was hoping to bike it. It's also pretty close to the L (for going into town purposes.)

How are you planning on getting to the law school and how long will that take?

Ah yes, AD always seems to be a common well of material to draw from for you when you can't write your own. Allow me to reciprocate with more internet cliches.

I'm guessing this is where you become a big advocate for a free UPass for all Chicago students, eh?

Do you think it's even possible to find parking at the school on a daily basis?

Oh, that was actually directed at Sentry since Lakeview is so much further north. I'm a little ambivalent about the free UPass, so we'll have to see what they decide. I think no matter what we won't be having it this year, is what they said. Maybe 2012.

Not sure I read in the Chicago discuss your law school thread there is a parking lot 2 blocks from the school which you can park in for somewhere in the ~$70 a month range. Otherwise you have to get there like before 8am to get a spot on the street.

But as far as the UPass, isn't that for the subway/L?

From what I have heard, there is street parking available if you get there early in the morning, like 7:30. There is also a student lot you can buy a pass for but it's several blocks from the law school building and, as you'd expect, it's not cheap.
