Michigan Law Class of 2015 Forum

I am a little bitter about the football schedule. 1L and 3L we get Michigan State home and that's it. 2L is the only time we'll get OSU and ND home. That said, just bought tickets, and I'm not hating it.

Ya, bum rap for you guys. Last year's 1L class and this next year's class has OSU + ND twice.

You could always try to defer

Just completed the ticket application!

the season ticket package includes home games but what about the away games - ie The Ohio State game? That's honestly the only one I care about and would go to. Times like this makes me wish I'd become a Buckeye alumni...

Better start hitting up the Ohio State Class of 2015 thread!

In other news, the games switch location each year, so you'll get it as a 2L. Why the OSU love?

I'm from Ohio. I decided not to attend OSU for undergrad because I didn't want to go to school in a city (no matter how awesome said city is). But, I've always been a Buckeyes football fan. Rooting for Michigan football is downright blasphemy if you're a native and loyal Ohioan.

I'd gladly travel to Columbus for the annual game, but it's crazy to spend $200 for tickets to just one game.

When 2L comes around, I'll wear some neutral colors and pretend to root for the home team. Go Blue!

Does anyone know if football tickets sell out? I won't be able to buy mine until next week since I'm inbetween jobs and I definitely don't want to miss any games.

They don't. And even if they claim they do, they'll open it back up like a week later (or you can usually buy tickets on LawOpen for under face value on game day... even for the big games). The stadium is huge and there's always plenty of room.

Gah!! Link? Had no idea the tickets were on sale already. Is there assigned seating (i.e. did I miss out on the best seats?)

You should have received an email about the law group seating. You can get tickets from http://www.mgoblue.com/.

Hey guys, does anyone know if the second deposit needs to be physically mailed in? I can no longer access the ASW to pay online like I did for my first. Can't seem to find info about this anywhere.

How much is the second deposit?

[Campagnolo]

It's another $300. The Admitted Students Website has been finicky lately. I had to try logging on a couple different times before it let me on to pay.

It's finally starting to hit me that I'll be starting law school in just a few weeks.

I'm trying to sort out loan requests. Is there a final tuition figure for the upcoming year?

For everyone who wants to see what Ann Arbor has to offer:

I emailed them for it - it's not approved by the final board yet, but the estimate including living expenses is $69,950 out of state. Tuition is $51,250 out of state. You can email them, or PM me, if you want the PDF with the full budget. They were really nice.

Any summer starters on TLS? How's it going so far?

[RamblinBoyofPleasure]

If anyone is interested in living in the forum, I'm got off the waitlist elsewhere so my roommate is looking for someone. PM me if you're interested.

Any summer starters on TLS? How's it going so far?

It's wonderful! Okay, the workload is killer. But the classes are exciting and entertaining, I love our professors, the reading material is often confusing but way less dry than I thought it would be, everyone here is so nice, Ann Arbor is gorgeous, and life is generally good! Except for the workload.

On a totally unrelated note, if you are a "non-traditional student" (euphemism for: older than the norm), please join our brand new OWLS facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/330401463703183/

As far as I know, there is no definite age limit for being in OWLS. Most of the students here seem to be between 22 and 27, so take that for what it's worth. I fall...well outside the range of 22 and 27.

I've only had Pottow in a class of 45. Is he as snarky and witty in a class of 90? Can you understand what he says if you are in the back of the class? Is the front row again reserved for folks who didn't do the reading?

He is definitely snarky and witty! I love that class so much! I can usually hear from the back row, even though I'm a little hard of hearing. Yes, the front row is reserved for anyone who is unprepared. So far, no one has sat there.

On a scale of 1 to sweltering equatorial rainforest, how hot and humid is it in Ann Arbor during the summer and spring? This frightens me more than the cold.

Spring is beautiful in Ann Arbor. Summer, on the other hand, often feels like a sweltering equatorial rainforest. There is a good reason advertisements for summer sublets universally tout a specific amenity: air conditioning. It is muggy and sticky at night -- it does not cool off like Oregon.

But you will be on the west coast during summers, so you have nothing to worry about!

I honestly wouldn't pay extra for AC in Ann Arbor.

There are some days that suck. The last few nights the lows were in the 70s. That is no fun without AC. However, July is the hottest month of the year in A2 and the average lows are in the low 60s. If you've got some fans and windows that open wide, you'll be fine.

Yes. I've enjoyed a summer in A2 without AC.

Michigan's problem isn't temperature. It does get really humid during the summer, though. Welcome to Michigan.

[imjustjoking22]

I don't have A/C, I'm surviving. The LS is all air conditioned so I just go there and work if it's too hot, encourages me to not be lazy.


It's awesome here. Having a blast. We have had so many classes moved around that the workload is super light most of the time, reading is pretty fast and quite reasonable. Class is entertaining. Could not like it more!
