Re: UChi Students & Alumni Taking Questions
Probably. I would insist on them putting something like that in the lease or otherwise in writing, though.

Re: UChi Students & Alumni Taking Questions
I went to tour Regents a while back and found a huge difference between the individual units that I saw. Some looked wonderful (as pictured), and others were horribly run down. I'm assuming a renovated unit would be one of the nicer ones, but definitely be cautious - they don't all look like the pictures!lebongenre wrote:Hey all! Quick questions about Regents: Do the "renovated" units actually look like the photos in the listing below, or are they significantly more run down?

Eta: Thanks, landshoes! I'll be sure to document everything. MAC already leaves much to be desired...

Re: UChi Students & Alumni Taking Questions
Please can someone point me in the direction of the cheapest most ghetto housing that is close enough to get to the school by foot or bike or something?
I'm serious. Don't mind living in Chiraq if the rent is dirt cheap and I can get to the school.

Re: UChi Students & Alumni Taking Questions
basically look south of the school
but you should seriously look at 1) getting a roommate for 2) grad housing. it's cheap for what you get.
and I get being cheap but you really don't want to live in the shitty parts of the south side, it's genuinely dangerous. not worth it to get jacked for your laptop (with all your notes) and your books and shit.

I'm hoping this was just an unfunny joke, especially the "Chiraq" part.22191313 wrote:Please can someone point me in the direction of the cheapest most ghetto housing that is close enough to get to the school by foot or bike or something?

The worst parts of Chicago, some of which are pretty near Hyde Park, are as dangerous as any place in the world. You won't be walking or biking to school from there, and you'll want to move out on Day 1. Follow the advice people have given on where to live for 1L, and Chicago can be great.

Any tips for not failing Helmholz? I only have a few days to commit to Property so could use advice on prioritizing/ what to look at.

Read Moynihan and Understanding Property by Sprankling (two supplements). I'm not sure how he is structuring the exam; last year he trolled us with a multiple choice section that had ridiculous questions (there really was no way to be prepared for it).trramic wrote:Any tips for not failing Helmholz?

The concepts for property aren't very difficult to grasp. You just need the right book to explain it to you (e.g. Moynihan/Sprankling).

Re: UChi Students & Alumni Taking Questions
Thanks -- I'll look at those. He let us know there will be MC section this year as well (closed book as I'm assuming it was for you too) and told us he aims to make them "impossible" so I've already given up on that part anyway.bill_swerski wrote:Read Moynihan and Understanding Property by Sprankling (two supplements).

If you take the usual approach (write a shit ton of words and hope something sticks), he will shave points off. Be succinct, answer the question/prompt, and more so here than any other class, don't write more than you have to.trramic wrote:Any tips for not failing Helmholz?

Do you know when we might expect to get our grades? Has it historically been a quick turnaround after finals, or is it more like a month?

Just to save time for 1L's who are checking in on this thread, the due date for non-paper, non-graduating grades is Monday June 20th this year. Who knows how soon after that, or whether or elective grades come in first.

Re: UChi Students & Alumni Taking Questions
Any input on Glass Menagerie photos from current students? If I have one professional looking photo and one a little more casual, which should I go with? I want employers to take me seriously, but I also don't want to have classmates and professors think that I'm overdoing it. Opinions/any regrets? What do most people use?

Re: UChi Students & Alumni Taking Questions
People do it both ways. But my thought is that this is your first impression with potential employers and classmates. I've seen people shunned for an unprofessional glass menagerie photo. I'd get one that's headshot quality. PM for a photographer's number. He'll do them for only a few hundred dollars.InfinitelyStressed wrote:Any input on Glass Menagerie photos from current students?

Re: UChi Students & Alumni Taking Questions
I think the person above is not being entirely serious. I would go with the professional one, but it doesn't matter unless it displays truly egregious judgement.InfinitelyStressed wrote:Any input on Glass Menagerie photos from current students?

If someone legitimately thinks less of you because your picture is too nice, they are ridiculous, and I have never heard of that happening. Mostly, people say that a photo is nice or comment that someone has a different haircut or something like that.
