I recently got accepted to graduate school at UTMB, so I may be moving to Galveston this fall. I would like to know a little bit more about the area since I haven't spent much time there. Any information on living in Galveston or going to grad school at UTMB would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

most students going to tumb live down in a neighborhood called fish village. its right near the campus, and its mostly small rental houses and owner occupied places. all of the streets are like marlin, pompano, and names like that.....thus the moniker "fish village."

UTMB is approximately 10 blocks by 3 blocks--there are a number of houses, apartments, townhomes etc for rent all around the area. Talk to some of the UTMB people as there are a number of rentals owned by UTMB staff which are never publicized outside of UTMB.

You might also find a garage apartment in the East End Historical District. Within walking or bike riding distance to UTMB.

You might also post that you are looking for a place on http://forums.galveston.com/groupee/forums. The good folks there might be able to help out. Tell 'em Wrangler sent you.

There are all sorts of rental houses, and garage apartments around town. Just scope out the neighborhood first, once you venture away from tumb, you can get into some slummy neighborhoods. We live near Gaidos and we love our part of town, but go 2 blocks back, and it starts to get not so beautiful anymore.

Thanks for all the help! I'm headed down to Galveston in the next couple weeks and hopefully I'll be able to find something then.

Galveston can be a lot of fun, I think you'll like it here.

My Mom lives in the "fish village" mentioned by tamug90. Nice area. Small homes and within walking distance of UTMB.

I've been accepted into the bbsc; I'll probably end up going into pathology. How was your experience there? Any pros/cons to going to grad school here?

I loved living on the island. It can get a little small from time to time, but I had alot of fun. Find a safe neighborhood to live in, and expect just about everything to have a "sea film" on it.

Congrats on getting admitted to grad school there.
