Make sure to read some <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/2014\/01\/06\/moving-to-chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tips about Chicago<\/a> before moving to DePaul University.\u00a0Prepare your wardrobe\u00a0for frigid\u00a0winters with extra-frigid\u00a0wind chill (hence, Windy City) and also remember to prepare your stomach for some of the best deep-dish pizza of your life! If you are an outdoorsy person moving into Chi-Town worried about the lack of quality time with nature, fret no further; Chicago has over 550 parks and a coast that overlooks the beautiful Lake Michigan.<\/p>\n<h3>Housing on Campus<\/h3>\n<p>DePaul has\u00a0limited on-campus housing for students, so it is crucial that you apply as early as possible. More than likely you\u00a0will be living on Lincoln Park in one of the following room types: apartment, double, single or triple. While choosing which residence hall is ideal for your lifestyle, be sure to check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/offices.depaul.edu\/housing\/housing-options\/Pages\/rates.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">housing rates<\/a> of each room type.<\/p>\n<h3>Moving to DePaul<a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/depaul.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-22722\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/depaul-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"moving to depaul university\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/depaul-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/depaul-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Because it&#8217;s a large campus in a big city, planning your move there is extremely important.
