When I visited I didn't really realize a few very important things that I will share so you guys also do not have to find out the hard way. Though, I know a lot of you already live in Philly so you may already know or, hopefully, will refute some of this. 1) The financial/admissions individual I spoke with said that it's not a great idea to have a car as it will just be an added expense to take care of parking; 2) the apartments are pretty expensive/ hard to find/ small. I live in NYC/ Queenish area and for less than what I saw last night I get like 1,000 sq ft versus 700 sq ft or less. Does anyone know how much it costs to park at Penn? The adcomm just said that it was expensive but was an option.

good to know. i'm hoping to bring my car up too, although i don't plan to drive it to class. i have friends in DC, Boston and NY, and i want to take road trips. AND i want to be able to drive to get groceries/shop. sadly, i hate public transpo, a side effect of growing up in Houston. so far i think my best option as far as large apt complexes go is 2400 chestnut,




Hmmm that's interesting, I'll definitely have to check that out. Your parking idea also sounds good. I'm also pretty spoiled when it comes to the car and I want to be able to drive home to NYC. Heavenwood aren't you suppose to be there today?where it's $120 per month for parking in a garage and not too far of a walk to campus. it's expensive, but oh so cheap compared to boston

...and i know this is crazy early, but anyone interested in getting a 2BR there? i suppose i'll have to wait til the fbook group is up, sigh

I think there is one, though it is understandably a little underwhelming at 28 group members.

edit: i'm enjoying the videos with bayrex haha

+1. I'm trying to stalk people (isn't that what FB was invented for?) but can only see 6 members of the page. Lame.

Yeah, someone should let them know they should create a group instead of a page. (Or maybe one of us could create a fb group?)

I look forward to receiving a call from you then! Any hints? I will make sure to ask you if you had a drink or two if I figure out it's you. Maybe I will just meet you at the bar?

johnnyutah wrote: Hahah. Honestly, if you want to start getting a sense of social life at U Penn, you're welcome to come out with me and some random 3L friends at some point this Spring. It's really not any different from what you're already used to in Philly, though.

You'll know if its me on phone. I'll be the guy who prefaces the pitch with something like "Look, man, heres the fucking deal." I like to keep it classy

r6_philly wrote:Sure if you don't mind. I have a get a sense of what Penn Law is like before time to make decisions. I have met people from every graduate school except Law. I go to a lot of the GAPSA stuff as long as they have free drinks. I will be on campus 4 days a week, so let me know what going down. Thanks in advance! Meeting and hearing some personal stories from 3Ls will definitely help me decide.

Actually come thing of it I know a couple of 2Ls, they seem to like it but I guess they are not facing job search yet.

johnnyutah wrote: Cool. I get back to Philly in about 2 weeks, and I'll try to put together a mix of 3Ls - some with ridiculously awesome job offers and some with none. It'll give you a good cross section. How do you feel about Local 44?

Just out of curiosity, when do we hear about any scholarship info?

You coming again?

I will be in SF visiting Stanford and Berkeley. You should come next week, I am going to go tour the LS and hang out .

I will have Monday/Wed afternoon classes across the street in the spring so if anyone comes to visit and want to hang out let me know. My happy hours place is right between my classes and the law school. Convenient

Here's the link to the page. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=gro ... 59179&ap=1

And no I've never even been to Philly. That's why I want to visit just to make sure. I actually go to school out in Cali, but I'm ready to make the transition to the East Coast!
