Jeffersonian is also just smaller. Ivy might be 10x bigger.

To be fair, if you had read these boards you'd have known that applying at 9 AM was unlikely to get you an apartment.AriGoldButNicer wrote:Backups? I dont have a car. I can walk 3-4 miles to school as I do a lt of walking/running. Just don't wanna be disadvantaged time wise. What do late admits to? Camp out? It seems like it's harder to find a place to live in UVa than on Park Ave in Manhattan. 69 people on a waitlist when I got my app in 9 am morning they opened?

I was wondering what the odds are of landing something there. I know if you're 60 something on a school's waitlist your odds are well under 50-50. I just want to know if it'd be prudent to look elsewhere, and if so then where?

Sorry if i came off complaining earlier - i was just shocked as to how crowded these are. These are great suggestions. I'd prefer not to live on uva property, because then you have collegiate rules 24/7-like if i don't want to have bar issues if i smoke a cigarette in my room. I'm thinking about maybe going down there, and scoping stuff out later this month? I'd just regret not living with law students. I'm kind of on my own with this, and I know friends are a great answer to stress.
I guess I'll keep searching!! If any of you two/three l's wouldn't mind a 1l roommate (i am older than most 1ls but not 30 plus old), let me know!! I'm very friendly and outgoing, but pretty low key.
Jeffersonian is more popular because it's closer to the law school and shopping, and, probably most importantly, it's cheaper than Ivy. And to the extent I've had maintenance issues, they've generally been resolved well.

ETA: Ivy may also have the shittiest option for cable tv in the United States.
Don't listen to this poster, He's trying to ruin you and set himself up on the curve. The difference of 10 minutes each way in commute times is huge, and easily the difference between a B and an A-. Sacrificing those 20 library minutes a day adds up over the semester like you wouldn't believe. I know professors who won't even read the exams of people who live that far away.Heat wrote:
People here make the time difference out to be a huge deal that its not. I live at least a 15 minute drive from the school, as do at least 7 other people (out of 30) in my section. I don't think any of us ever felt disadvantaged. This is especially true if you like to study at home.
My school has the best TLS posters, hands down.Cary Bennett wrote:You guys don't understand. Submitting grades to SIS is an extremely difficult process, and I can't be expected to do it in a timely manner when I'm only being paid $96,000 a year (which is nothing for central Virginia). My staff of five and I work very hard to submit grades biannually and to oversee course enrollment.

Joeshmo's post is gold. Pure gold.
Every year around this time Cary Bennett becomes like a UVa law super villain. He reminds me of someone....maybe...Obadiah Stane from Iron Man!

Also, the person who is willing to run or walk 3-4 miles a day, I commend you. I will warn you that a lot of the places 3-4 miles out from the law school are off 250 - the by-pass (pronounced "bih-pass" by drunk, loud, ex-policy wonk cab drivers) - which means getting to the school on foot is not really an option. I guess you could run or walk from the corner, but trust me, that's not a real option on a daily basis. .
Do what he said, but put it between the "img" thingies.Cary Bennett wrote:Right click on the image, select "copy image location" for the URL. Then post it here.
