Alright, so I'm graduating in May and got a job offer from a company in Chicago. I have been looking for a one bedroom apartment but I know nothing about many of the various neighborhoods. I would like to live on the north side but other than that I am not sure which neighbor hood to look at. Any help from Chicago people would be appreciated

I've lived all over the Northside. What kinds of key things are you looking for in a neighborhood? How much are you looking to spend? Check out Ukrainian Village, close to Bucktown/Wicker Park, and Lincoln Square, North of that area. Those are my fave spots.
Move to Des Plaines. Right outside the North Side, about a 15 minute drive in good traffic from downtown, cheaper and more space than anything in the city. They just built a brand new Rivers Casino here. Sometimes the infrastructure is crappy, because it's older (some parts prone to flooding, high winds can cause power outages from falling branches.) All in all though, this is hands down the best area as far as I'm concerned. it's right next to the blue line as well, so getting to the city is incredibly easy. Also home of the very first McDonalds, and this place...

I would like to live in a neighborhood that is more of a younger crowd with plenty of bars and music, that sort of thing. I also would like to live somewhere that has easy metro access. I've looked in the Wrigleyville/Lakeview area and that seems like a cool area. Any input on the general Lakeview neighborhoods?

That's a good area. I lived within blocks of Wrigley for years. Lots of good bars, clubs & restaurants. Easy Red Line access. Southport Ave is cool with Schuba's Tavern, a great little music hall at Belmont. Just be prepared for crowds of drunk Cubs fans, traffic & parking issues. Maybe look at Roscoe Village & Ravenswood areas just to the west, Brown Line El stops instead of Red Line. It's a little less hectic, just as hip, and 10 minutes from everything. Happy hunting.
