Does anyone know how long the leases are for? Is it a full year or just the school year (9 months)?

Bronck · Post by **Bronck** » Mon May 21, 2012 5:35 pm

I think I remember someone saying that it's for 9 months, and then you have the option of renewing it for a year after that if you want.

seems like there's people on facebook that haven't heard either - unless that's just you guys again

Well, at least we know it's gotta be tomorrow? I'm a little worried what it's going to be at this point...

Bronck · Post by **Bronck** » Mon May 21, 2012 7:53 pm

It better be tomorrow. I'm probably going to call in if I haven't heard by tomorrow afternoon

Just got my housing assignment!

Definitely worth the wait. 415 West 118th Street, about a block away from CLS, furnished, rent is super reasonable.

Excellent.

Awesome! Congrats!

Does it show up on the housing website or do I have to wait to check my email (no email at work)

ETA: TODAY IS FINALLY THE DAY

Elliott_Smith · Post by **Elliott_Smith** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:47 am

They sent me an email informing me there was an assignment posted to the portal - good luck!

Ah thanks. hopefully we're all as fortunate as you. they must have been saving the best for last?

Honestly, I've got no idea! I was pretty specific about what I wanted, so I'm a little surprised they got me everything this late in the game. I wonder if I lost the lottery and then someone turned down this place.

Going to try to move in early August, and spend some time getting to know the city before boot camp starts.

Bronck · Post by **Bronck** » Tue May 22, 2012 1:58 pm

Congrats for getting something!

Still nothing here :/

Damn... some useful info from FB:

"Just talked to Juliana: All law-only housing is filled so those of us left will hear by the end of this week. We should be placed somewhere between 110-125th between morningside and riverside, and if possible, we'll be placed with law school roommates."

Guess I got screwed over on this one. The price better at least be cheaper.

Honestly not sure. You'd probably have to call in to find out.

I'd much rather be south of the law school too (i.e., south of 116th).

Yeah, I'm honestly not sure what to do at this point. Out of the class of 400, I feel like there's only a dozen or so of us left without housing.

Yeah, someone called in the other day and said 15-20 people lost out on the lottery. I guess that means us?

Of course, other people already got placed into non-law school housing, but they didn't request it either.

Elliott_Smith · Post by **Elliott_Smith** » Tue May 22, 2012 5:46 pm

I didn't specificy one way or another, and am living with a couple grad students. Honestly I don't have a problem with that at all - having an all law house sounds pretty stressful

Bronck · Post by **Bronck** » Tue May 22, 2012 5:53 pm

Yeah, in the end it probably won't matter. As long as it's reasonably priced and in a good location that's fine with me.

Still waiting on housing..... this is getting really effing annoying.

Yeah seriously. Hopefully tomorrow as she said end of the week. Maybe a few of us will end up together and commiserate.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about sharing an apartment with non-law students vs law students

smokeylarue · Post by **smokeylarue** » Wed May 23, 2012 2:45 pm

Just came in!

Bronck · Post by **Bronck** » Wed May 23, 2012 3:01 pm

Still waiting...........

Elliott_Smith · Post by **Elliott_Smith** » Wed May 23, 2012 3:08 pm

I never really understood the big push to live with law students - Why would one need to live with someone going after the same degree?
