Congrats. Are you all local, or are you coming from outside?

It's warmer than Chicago, anyway. The Great Salt Lake has a beach, but it smells like death.shillim wrote:Leaving the beaches of Santa Monica......wardboro wrote:Congrats. Are you all local, or are you coming from outside?
PM me if you have any questions. I'm a 1L who should be outlining.

Re: Utah '12
I dunno if I could've hacked the Chicago winters. Call me a wuss...and I'll tell you, "yes, yes I am." I am going to truely miss riding my bike along the venice boardwalk in the dead of winter (while the rest of the country is in a deep freeze) in shorts and flip-flops, watching the weirdos doing their thing.wardboro wrote:It's warmer than Chicago, anyway.

How are the hills for motorcycles?
Good luck with your 1L finals!

Sort of. I'm from Idaho but I'm currently living in Provo. I need to get my driver's license/voter registration taken care of this week.wardboro wrote:Congrats. Are you all local, or are you coming from outside?
I'm excited at the prospect of living in a city with a building that exceeds 20 stories.

Re: Utah '12
I have a 2-stroke 50cc that I ride to school daily. The school is on the bench, so if you have to ride up from downtown level to the law school, a bike that small will be sweating pretty good. That said, most housing that people live in near the University is already on the bench, and so I don't have to go up the great big hill regularly. I think if you had anything 125 and up you'd be able to keep up with traffic climbing the hill.shillim wrote:I dunno if I could've hacked the Chicago winters.

There's a lot of BYU and a few UVU students here. Salt Lake's a cool place. I really enjoyed my Provo years, but I definitely like SLC better than Provo.darain wrote:Sort of.

Off to Utah as well. Coming from New York City and bringing an '03 Triumph Bonneville. I am very excited to see what the west has to offer, as I have wanted to move out of NYC for a long time. Any hints on housing? Just use craigslist or is there another method that I should know about?

I'm trying to rent a room in the shoreline apartments at least for the first semester. Should get a pretty good lay of the land after that to find roomates and find the best housing situation.

Re: Utah '12
Craigslist isn't bad, but in Salt Lake a lot of people also use this free classified ad service. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=13

Re: Utah '12
Thanks for the apartment info. Not sure where I am going to end up living yet. Getting married in June and don't know where the wife's job will be (possibly in Park City). Otherwise we are trying to get as close to campus as possible. Walking is ideal.
Shillim - the riding should be good around SLC. I have only been there twice, but I think there is a ton of stuff.

Re: Utah '12
Park City is a very doable commute (about 30 minutes) if you'd rather live on the Park City side. Otherwise, there is a lot of nice housing between the University and where you get on I-80 East to go to Park City. Most of the students (and lots of families) live in that neighborhood anyway. If you're not adverse to living in cinder block walls, and you can get in, there is excellent student family housing. A 2-bedroom including ALL utilities is under 700 a month, but I know that there are often waiting lists to get into it. It's within walking distance, and there's also a campus shuttle that takes you straight to the LS if you're feeling lazy. Good luck.

I had good luck with Express Rentals a few years ago. There is a fee, though: $60 for 45 days.

ksl.com is more popular than craigslist in Utah. They have some apartment listings in their classifieds section.UC2006 wrote:Off to Utah as well.
