Thank you!!!!!Apple Tree wrote:I think Ivy and Jeffersonian are where many 1Ls live, and maybe Arlington Court condo too. They are all within walking distance to the school. It's too late to find an apartment in Jeffersonian now (unless you want to room with someone who already got one there). You can apply for an aparment at Ivy through their management office, although some people have had bad experience with them. You can find an apartment in Arlington Court on Craigslist or http://www.brac.com since the condos are individually owned.
Craigslist is a good place to look. Just look out for the scams.
All the places mentioned above are ghetto and overpriced. Find something on craigslist.Apple Tree wrote:I think Ivy and Jeffersonian are where many 1Ls live, and maybe Arlington Court condo too.

That's true for pretty much anything within walking distance of the school.alirod12 wrote:All the places mentioned above are ghetto and overpriced.

Just reiterating what's been said on TLS... I agree these apartments are generally overpriced, but I guess it depends on if a student wants to live within walking distance of the school. I'm not sure if I would call these places "ghetto" though. When I visited, they seemed to be in a fairly nice and safe neighborhood (which is pretty much the school right?). The apts themselves seemed decent as well. Of course the quality won't come close to places like Jefferson Ridge, but then again it depends on how close a person wants to live to school.alirod12 wrote:All the places mentioned above are ghetto and overpriced.

They're definitely not ghetto in the sense of being dangerous. They're ghetto in the sense of "If I'm willing to move 2 miles away, I could have a pool and dishwasher for this price."Apple Tree wrote:Just reiterating what's been said on TLS...

I will say that after dealing with Jeffersonian, I feel like it's a bit overrated. I only wanted to stay there because I wanted to live close to the school and I have pets. But I had so much trouble getting the manager's approval for the pets that it was almost not worth it. I wish I had looked for apartments on Craigslist earlier. The ones close to school are in high demand. When I satrted looking most of them were gone already (at least the ones allowed pets).
Ha I see. Yes they are overpriced. Will add that to my original post.Kohinoor wrote:They're definitely not ghetto in the sense of being dangerous.

I have. I don't know.pjo wrote:Have you guys accepted/declined your loan amounts on SIS yet? Is there a deadline for doing that?
There is a deadline. It's usually in late July or early august. You will have to also sign your Master Promissory Notes.joemoviebuff wrote:I have. I don't know.pjo wrote:Have you guys accepted/declined your loan amounts on SIS yet? Is there a deadline for doing that?
Agreed. Let me know if you're still looking for something and don't mind a 2 minute drive to school.yngblkgifted wrote:That's true for pretty much anything within walking distance of the school.alirod12 wrote:All the places mentioned above are ghetto and overpriced.

The Jeffersonian has dishwashers and a pool, right?Kohinoor wrote:They're definitely not ghetto in the sense of being dangerous. They're ghetto in the sense of "If I'm willing to move 2 miles away, I could have a pool and dishwasher for this price."
They have a shuttle, but it seems to be pretty worthless for a law student. I think it drops you off somewhere else on campus and then you have to take another shuttle to the law school. I think the walk is like a mile or so though so that's not an absurd distance that I'm guessing would probably be preferable to taking a shuttle in most situations (I'm assuming the shuttle question had to do with not wanting to drive)crossingforHYS wrote:what about uheights?
Is there a shuttle that goes from the apartment to the law school? or any bus?
Not to mention you could also have wireless, gym facilities,bball courts,internet cafe with free color printing, hbo, newer rooms, your own walk in closet all for the same price if not lower. I couldn't believe the difference in quality between the "near campus" housing and the "ten minute drive away" housing. I for one will be driving to school.They're definitely not ghetto in the sense of being dangerous.

Maybe I was looking at the wrong places, but I never seemed to find anything that nice that was as cheap or cheaper than the Jeffersonian (much less a place that was pet friendly). Where can you score an ~800 sq. ft. 2BR for $810 a month that's really nice?yngblkgifted wrote:Not to mention you could also have wireless, gym facilities,bball courts,internet cafe with free color printing, hbo, newer rooms, your own walk in closet all for the same price if not lower.

Eagles Landing and University Place would be some examples. The only "downside" is that they seem to have more undergraduates than most would prefer. Personally I don't think it is that big of deal since I am coming straight out of undergrad so I'm used to it and I plan on doing most of my studying at the law school. Even with that said, neither of those places seemed like they were loud or obnoxious.Stringer Bell wrote:Maybe I was looking at the wrong places, but I never seemed to find anything that nice that was as cheap or cheaper than the Jeffersonian (much less a place that was pet friendly).
