<p>I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on this, but just wanted further advice. Someone please help me out! Here's my situation:</p>
<p>I'm a local resident, but am planning to move into an apartment closer to UCI for my first year as a Transfer. I'm keeping my car, and my budget is around $600. If anyone could give me some advice on where to live this upcoming Fall, that'd be greatly appreciated! :-) </p>
<p>Also, when to start looking for housing and how to find housemates. Any help would be nice! Thanks!</p>
