Yeah, it IS that important, MaMaNever isn't telling you wrong. My apartment is actually on ground level, but it was one of the nicer ones they had in the complex, and my whole building is one-level. I don't have to worry about some heavy-footed person above me, but I can tell you that when I am trying to get some sleep in the morning/afternoon, and someone walks past my window talking it scares the crap out of me! Security reasons are another reason to stay on a higher floor, I actually prefer the top...floor that is! It may be a beast to move in, and you may be sore for a week (trust me), but it will be well worth it, and if you have to climb steps everyday, it's good exercise!!
Anyway...CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You should start right now making a list of apartment essentials, because it's usually the everyday simple things that you forget! Plunger, mop/bucket, broom, dustpan, pots/pans, tupperware, vacuum, tools, flashlight, extension cords, candles/matches, etc. etc.
