moving....

well I'm not moving just yet but of course I've been thinking about where I am going to continue my studies when I graduate in December. I'm so nervous because I've been looking at apartments and stuff online but it's hard to gauge the proximity to campuses, and crime level and all these things. I've been looking at places more east, also I don't have a car and I would want to live near public transportation. I'm also concerned about space. I feel like whenever I move I will be so accustomed to Texas size spaces and not 300 sq ft places for the same price. What am I going to do?
