I have a friend who's a Northwestern grad who is renting or possibly selling her place in Rogers Park. It's a really nice condo. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1437-W-Pratt-Blvd-APT-3-Chicago-IL-60626/60261184_zpid/# It's close to transit and the restaurants around the area are varied and delicious. If it sounds like something you might be interested in, I can pass you her contact info.
