Homeless route?
My username got banned? and my last post is locked, I don't think I did anything weird so Im being sure to not check any boxes or select anything weird in this post.
Here it is again:
Hey ya'll. I'll be heading to Penn this fall and I think I'm gonna go without housing the first year, well, at least the first semester. Anyone else trying/tried the homeless route? I've heard good things and bad - less stress, more time for exploring the city, better on the enviroment... but not as much "decent" sleep and not as many friends.
Any advice for a newbie?

Re: Homeless route?
First thing first, its a lifestyle, not a convenience. Still up to it? Good. Now just getting a fucking apartment like a normal person.

Re: Homeless route?
1) if this is a joke, you have no taste and poor breeding, sir
2) if this is not a joke, I sincerely apologize and you may see below for my perspective
This is a viable option but you will most likely experience more stress, not less. If your school offers lockers for commuting students, you should make sure you get one of them to store your stuff. Checking library hours, library cleaning schedules, and cleaning staff routines, you may be able to sleep indoors there. Signing up for a gym will offer you access to a shower and additional locker space. You may want to see if there are shelters in the area to at least have somewhere dry to go to in the case of inclement weather. You WILL want to ensure the shelter you choose is safe. Many of them will only introduce you to more danger than facing the weather, my community involvement has shown me the violence often perpetrated in these places engender so much fear that many homeless people avoid them at all costs, preferring to sleep in the rain and suffer illness.
A student at NYU did this for the better part of his time there and had a widely viewed blog outlining his day by day survival. It gained so much attention, NYU gave him free housing rather than endure the public bad will.
I'm not a stranger to economic hardship, having recently taken a free-fall plunge as my family continues to lose status, wealth, and favor in political backlash. But can you truly not take out the loans to have a place to stay? Have you tried asking relatives? I know it sucks to beg, but you can pledge financial gratitude in the future once you have your j.d.

Why would you go without housing during your most important year in law school? I would think the extra loan amt. for COL would be well worth it.

Yes, please go homeless. Then when you are without charged laptop battery or wireless TLS would be saved from reading this horseshit.

"Less stress, more time for exploring the city, better on the enviroment". WTF.
Are you going to law school to go to law school or are you looking for a loan to fund your adventures while you haphazardly explore the Philly underworld? I think you have forgotten the law school part of law school. Have fun studying in your tent in December, wrapped in several parkas and old sleeping bags, as you struggle to stay warm and conscious while attempting to learn the intricacies of personal jurisdiction by the light of a dying beeswax candle.
Also, some kid already did this and wrote a book about it, in case that was your back-up plan. Except he lived in a trailer, so he wasn't quite a stupid as you, although still pretty stupid. I don't think he ended up gainfully employed, and I don't think anyone bought his shitty book.

I know it sound ridiculous but I can't afford housing because I can't get a loan because of my credit. I'm paying for school with scholarship. Maybe I will try the trailer route.
I do think it is important to know a city well enough so it can be easier to study.

Stafford loans will give you $20500 a year regardless of your credit. I think you can qualify for grad plus loans with bad credit, so long as you take care of your delinquent accounts.slidersRocck wrote: I know it sound ridiculous but I can't afford housing because I can't get a loan because of my credit.
Also, 150.

At least wait until you graduate before being homeless. You may be wasting your last opportunity to live somewhere with a roof.

If there are clubs open until until 6am, then just go out every night and either dance until morning or go home with someone you meet.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
