That's really encouraging to hear. Thanks guys.

Do you think staffing agencies would be willing to work with me if I am willing to pay my expenses for flying in for interviews? I'd really like to find a job before I move.

Also, I've been looking up apartments online and found Brompton Court Apartments just off Kirby/Holcombe. Would you guys happen to know anything about these apartments/ this area? Would the commute be short to downtown? Is this a safe area? I'd like to keep my rent under $900.

It's a safe area, that's pretty much where Bellaire, West University, and the Medical Center meet. I remember looking at those apartments before and it was full of college students (studying at Rice or in the Med Center). The area is quite residential so there's nothing much happening around there except in Rice Village (bars, restaurants, shopping).

Commute to downtown should be 15-20 minutes, but 30 minutes in traffic. You might be able to use the light rail to get to downtown if you wanted, the nearest station is 10 minutes by bike (also remember that you can take your bike with you inside the train).

Hope that helps!

Thanks Crono_clone! I will check out those areas. 30 minutes sounds pretty good. Thanks again for all your help!
