Congrats back! I too made the second deposit. Any ideas about neighborhoods to live in or are you already local? I don't anticipate having a car so I am going to try to find something near a metro stop that I'd feel safe walking to and from should I end up coming home late from the library or something. Does that even exist in DC?Agent Bartowski wrote:Put in my final seat deposit last week. I am Catholic bound!
Congrats to my classmates- I think we made the right choice.
I would find a place near a redline metro stop because, it's true, the neighborhood surrounding Catholic isn't the best. I moved to D.C. in December and live in Foggy Bottom (GW Campus, basically) and now I wish I was closer to the redline. Transferring lines isn't that big of a deal, but it will mean a slightly longer commute.ahk! wrote:Congrats back! I too made the second deposit.

Thanks for the insight. I was pretty impressed with the metro when I visited a few months ago. Do you wish you were closer to the red line because you don't have a car and the walk to the stop is inconvenient?LKing wrote:I would find a place near a redline metro stop because, it's true, the neighborhood surrounding Catholic isn't the best.

PM me if you have more questions about DC!

I've lived on the Hill for almost 3 years and love it. Its pretty residential with a nice mix of parks, restaurants, bars and shopping (great farmer's market). I am looking to move closer to Union Station this summer to cut back on my commute, thank goodness for my roomies for being okay with this. Most house shares on the Hill run from about $750-1000. You can sometimes find an English basement for around $1200 plus utilities if you would rather live alone.ahk! wrote:Congrats back! I too made the second deposit.

That amount sounds pretty reasonable for its location on the Hill. Thanks for this info.Scarletlady wrote:I've lived on the Hill for almost 3 years and love it.

If you don't mind living further out from the city center, Silver Spring is a good choice. If you prefer the city I would suggest looking in the Woodley Park/Cleveland Park areas. They are only a few stops from DuPont but noticeably less expensive.
Do you think living in the dupont circle area is a reasonable commute by metro to catholic?Scarletlady wrote:I've lived on the Hill for almost 3 years and love it.

I live in the DC area for about 6 years now. Living anywhere in or near DC where the metro is accessible is a viable option for housing.Its on Seabass wrote:Scarletlady wrote:ahk! wrote:Agent Bartowski wrote:Put in my final seat deposit last week. I am Catholic bound!

Do you know when they start notifying people on the WL?howardsbest wrote:Wait list update: I asked the admissions office today how many people were on the part time wait list and they said 100-150 people. I may be wrong but, I feel that is a rather large number.
On the FAQ paper for wait listed applicants it says that anywhere from 10-over 50 applicants have been accepted over the years.
Lets hope that it is the on the over 50 side for this cycle. Good luck everyone.

NYVA311 wrote:Also waiting to hear about WL movement -- from what I understand, both deposit deadlines passed and they spent May re-evaluating WL candidates. I would assume they'll start accepting people next week if there's any room. I'm not sure why they would wait any longer unless I was wrong about the seat deposit deadlines.
