Go foreclosure trawling. Craigslist can be helpful for apts.macattaq wrote:Meh...Apple has really good customer service. I've heard of them replacing screens, hard drives, and essentially rebuilding computers for very simple, unrelated issues.
On a side note: this housing search is much more difficult than I anticipated. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Living within walking distance is definitely an attractive prospect... I live in Boston now, and I love that I can walk/bike/take the T pretty much anywhere I need to go. On the other hand, my boyfriend lives in the Greenlake area, and I really love it up there. I'm not sure that it would be worth the stress/time of the commute in the mornings (assuming I have morning classes) though. I guess we'll see! I'll be arriving in early July and staying with him while I apartment hunt, so that will give me a better idea.
Is anybody taking advantage of the Dell comp. purchase program through the school? I don't have a laptop currently, and it seems like that is a pretty good deal... not being much of a computer person I like the idea of getting something that comes equipped with everything I'll need for Law School.
I want a Mac.
I wouldn't mind having a Mac myself, but I like the idea of having a Dell at a school with a Tech Center that is a Dell certified repair center. I recognize that this whole thing is just one more Microsoft driven marketing scheme, but as a non-tech person (as non-tech as you can be as a member of our generation, anyway), I'm attracted to the idea of having a built in computer fixing department, haha.
Yeah, I got a T500 for similar reasons when they had a pretty huge discount over Easter weekend. Hopefully it ships before I move, for cryin' out loud.emilyadi wrote:I decided not to go for the dell, but rather a lenovo t400. It seems to be a very well built computer and I was able to use a teaching discount which really reduced the price. Gotta use my discount while I still can!
haha, ditto.Rsrcht wrote:I received a solicitation today from SU. Seattle wants me to buy a Dell.

Computer ID?cdube85 wrote:Got a folder with alumni information, a couple of maps, and sba information in the mail today. Anyone know how to get your computer ID?
I think they will send our IDs this summer for those starting in the Fall. I'm unsure for those of you starting in a month.cmaho9qy wrote:Computer ID?cdube85 wrote:Got a folder with alumni information, a couple of maps, and sba information in the mail today. Anyone know how to get your computer ID?
Yup. The long and the short of it is this: I want to live in Seattle for the rest of my life, and I didn't get into elite schools or UW. Seattle U is the best choice available for what I want to do. I'm also lucky enough to have some pretty good networks in place already, both locally and nationally.jjones78 wrote:has anyone heard about job prospects at seattle u? i've heard only top 25% have good job prospects. and that was in a good economy. anyone else heard anything/considered this in attending seattle u?

It doesn't make sense to me. I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from going to Seattle U, obviously you've made up your mind, but just because you want to do something doesn't mean you'll actually get a job doing it. Maybe if you can't get into UW or the elite schools, you shouldn't be in law school? It's not like there is a massive lawyer shortage giving you the chance to single-handedly save the day.stuffnuff wrote:Makes sense to me.Marmot wrote:Yup.

Wow. You're an elitist asshole who can't see outside their own narrow view of the world, aren't you? Why don't you fuck off? Kthx, bye.jjones78 wrote:It doesn't make sense to me.

150K is a lot to pay for a 25% chance at a job paying 50K.
The thing I heard from Seattle U that puzzled me was the emphasis on "Social Justice". If you want to do social justice, join the Peace Corps or Americorps, it's a lot cheaper. Or volunteer after work.
