Have any of you already made hotel reservations? I'm just looking for something convenient, cheap, and not too sketchy Also if there are any girls out there planning on the first ASD that might want to share a room to save money you should pm me, I don't snorevicpin5190 wrote:masked kavana wrote:Has anyone applied for an ASD subsidy?
What day are you planning to go?
I applied and was given $225 that'll come in the form of a visa gift card when i arrive. I'm at this point planning on going to the March one (I really want to get in earlier so I can talk to a finaid officer to discuss how to best finance this, what opportunities exist, etc., before the award decisions come out).
You mean is there a full scholarship plus living stipend like the Ruby?thewaves wrote:Do the merit scholarships offer stipends?
Yes that's what I meant, thanks.Lavitz wrote:You mean is there a full scholarship plus living stipend like the Ruby?thewaves wrote:Do the merit scholarships offer stipends?
No.
Don't know what you'd consider unbearable. According to page 11 of the housing brochure, small is supposed to be 114-136 sq. feet, regular is 137-167, large is 168-189, and x-large is 190-209. I think the picture on page 7 is of a small room, but I'm not sure. You'll get a tour at ASW, but they may only show you an x-large.fwang wrote:most likely going to the april ASW - look forward to seeing ppl there!
seconding the earlier question about housing - looking into hughes hall. anyone seen the rooms? leaning towards the smaller one since it's the cheapest, but not sure if it's unbearably small...

I live in a regular. Here are some pics for reference:
Note: Obviously, I'm not big on decorating.
I'm sure we would have heard if anyone received one. I think that if they don't come out soon, they'll likely just award them randomly when all the other scholarships come out in March. We have a new Financial Aid Director, so that may explain the different process this year.rackylo wrote:Long time lurker checking in.
Has anyone received Dean Scholarship invite? It's almost mid-February and there is no report of invitation.

You're going to be in Hughes for 8 months out of the year, and a regular is about 8K, so it's about 1K/month--a bit more if you pick the larger rooms. I'm living < 5 minutes down the hill next year and I'm paying 1K/month for a nice studio. Everything gets more expensive the closer you get to the law school. But I think if you find roommates, you can definitely find a place fairly close to the law school and still pay less than in Hughes. I know quite a few Hughes people are rooming together in collegetown next year and paying only 700/month.Yea All Right wrote:Would you say the pricing of Hughes Hall is reasonable compared to off-campus housing options?

Thanks, I'll take a look at that one.akg144 wrote:Yes, Country Inn & Suites - great customer review ratings across the board - great work out facilities, pool etc. and offers a free shuttle to and from the airport on demand - pretty sweet deal for just $70/night on hotels.com (marked down from $117 on other sites) i'm psyched
