Going with Old Gold. Too close/nice to pass up.

Where is that??

It's just off Benton, almost directly south of Boyd. > 10 min. walk to the building!

sweet man, I'm at 757 Benton St. Right across from the Seville Apartments.

Gotcha. I almost went with Seville - the kitchens/living rooms are huge - but I decided to save the money and be closer. Plus, the big OG kitchens are still pretty bitchin'. Cabinets on both sides? Yes, please!

Yeah, I don't know. THe place i"m at is only 530 a month. It is my sister's old place and it comes with EVERYTHING (furniture, silverware...everything). It is probs not as nice, but no biggy really.

If I was lucky enough to have a place come with everything, hell, I'd take it, too!

Looks like I'll be sending my deposit in on Monday. People feel free to PM me anytime between now and August!

Nice crystal! I don't think you'll have any issues getting approved. When will you find out?

What does everybody think about me graduating in the T14 and transferring to Iowa biglaw. I want to specialize in corn law.

Yuk yuk.

Oh, me and my cheap Iowa shots.

My financial aid package came in the mail today.

I feel like I just got punched in the ovaries.

Does Iowa offer a travel stipend for those wishing to visit campus from out of state?

No, why would they?

To help their yield percentage? You're right though, they have almost no incentive with the 50% resident requirement.

Wut's wrong with the 50% resident recuirement?! Ya'll r makin us Iowa folk sound stoopid!

Seriously though, we aren't as dumb as everyone is making us out to be. $100 says I have a better GPA and LSAT score than you... but I guess that doesn't mean anything. I mean, I am from Iowa anyway...

I don't think anyone is saying Iowans are dumb, Brick. The requirement just means Iowa Law doesn't have to pander to out of state students since it most likely won't affect their median LSAT score.

Did anybody realize that Iowa spelled backwards is "Awoi"?

Ummmm...ok. You ok there helm, long night?

I was kicking Isis around yesterday and it appears that our first class will be a week long introduction to legal reasoning.

Discuss:

What did everyone think about the email from Iowa today?

I’m slightly skeptical about their claim to an open doors policy. It seems unlikely that we’ll be in the student lounge all that often.

The small classes seem good and I like the faculty to student ratio.

Collegiality is nice but I’ll be surprised if competition isn’t fierce. It might be less so at U of Iowa but we’re all people who missed out on the T14 by a few scaled points on the LSAT or a few top grades for GPA.

BTW I officially committed to signing a lease*.

*If the right apartment becomes available.
