When did you get it? In the mail? Online? I haven't gotten anything.

Edit: Help! I don't want to be unprepared for my first (fake) law school class.

They send out an email with all the details for the Preview Day and a link to the case is within that email.

They sent me an email with schedule links but I can't find the case link anywhere. Can you pm me the link, please?

My bad, it was actually a PDF attachment. PM me your email address and I can send it to you instead.

You want to end up in Cali or in New England?

Berkeley.

So if you decide to stay in an apartment leased through the BU Office of Rental Property, your lease will be for an entire year. But what if you are anticipating working somewhere outside Boston during the summer? At least at the one building, subletting is strictly prohibited.

Of course, this is all just speculative, but it is a concern of mine. Also, this could be a concern with any apartment, anywhere, that requires a twelve-month lease when one is not necessarily expecting to be in that city during the summer months. TLS forum, any thoughts?

I can't speak for the rest of the apartments everywhere, but in Boston, almost all of the other students that I know that live off-campus sublet their apartments over the summer. So, aside from the apartments rented by the BU Office of Rental Property, I haven't yet heard of anyone having a problem subletting their apartment in Boston.

I have been looking at both and the BU managed properties along with the furniture rental seem to be the most straight forward but I would like to bring my small dog which is complicating things a little.

I am hoping to move out there in June or July to get acclimated so I am curious to see if anyone else is planning on coming out that early?

If so and you have some ideas on places to stay and what not PM me.

Thanks

Not able to make the ASW, but would appreciate if you let us know how ASW was & your findings about housing. I'm also from out of town & thinking of BU managed property as well. Not planning on moving to Boston until early August because of other commitments, but will make a couple of trips looking for housing June & July. The Chicago BU admitted student reception was awesome, very impressive. Have a great time in Boston!

I decided against BU managed property for a couple reasons but mostly becasue they seem to be more expensive than comparable apartments (at this point in my search).


The admitted students event for me was great and very informative, prior to attending I was deciding between BU, WashU, and USC and all though I loved WashU and have yet to vist USC the visit was enough to make me feel very comfortable and decide that that is where I will be come Fall.

I was waitlisted to a bunch of schools in the t-14 but in my mind even if I get off one of those waitlists I don't know that I will decide against attending BU and giving up the initial level of comfort I felt for one of those other schools...just my two cents

no word on merit aid yet - would it be okay to call and check on the status of this?

I did. It was a no-go but they were very nice. Unlike Fordham, who told me my lsat was too low to be considered. Straight talk, I guess, but still..

Does anyone know what kind of movement there is on their waitlist???

I called them today to ask and I was not given a straight answer. Only that they would be giving out decisions as soon as they made them lol.

Haha I wish! When is BU's deposit deadline? Probably a couple weeks after that.

Yeah I'm curious, cause I'm still waiting for a decision.

I'm also always very nervous when I say that, because I feel like I'll think that, and then get home and have a little, thin envelope awaiting me in my mailbox.

Trust me, you will laugh quite a bit more once you have the actual class. You will know what I mean once you go.

I just kept imaging this guy saying, "Yeah, you're going to be a star! Just sign here and leave your very large payment here.

What case are you guys reading? And is it with Petit?

Also - any admitted public interest scholars coming to the reception on Friday?
