Approved at Lakeside :) The bad news is that I may have to move back home for a couple of weeks in between leases.

Congrats (isn't it such a relief to know where you'll be living next year?)! Living at home for a few weeks shouldn't be bad... especially because your family is in Cville (right?).

Are there any duck-proof apartments? Just in case.

Thanks.... It won't be that bad at all. I have a "cool" mom 8) . It will be a little wierd though after being on my own.

I too need some cleats. I've been brushing up on my softball skills but haven't invested in them yet. Anyone else think the most exciting part about going to UVA is the softball?

Question for anyone who cares to answer:

If I'm planning to take out loans to pay for tuition+rent, what do I write on these apartment applications that ask for proof of employment/income? Do they have separate apps for students with loans? I doubt I'll be working at any point during my first year.

The Woodlands doesn't require employment for graduate students, I'd assume it's the same for the rest. They pretty much know you'll be getting loans.

Having your application approved does not equal knowing where you'll be living next year. I've been approved at CH and they're still not sure if they will have anything available and I'm freaking out.

Anyone else here moving down with a significant other? Suggestions on suitable apartment complexes?
I'm moving with my wife and we're looking at Carriage Hill and Lakeside.

I better get my application in then. Where are you looking? We didn't really get a chance to look around much during the ASW, so I'm basically just going off what I've seen on the internet.

I will be at Lakeside next year, but to be honest I would agree with Cantwait and say that Carriage Hill has a more updated interior. Depending on what your price range is, I would also look into Stone Creek Village, Avemore, and the new townhouses at the Hollymead Town Center.... oh and of course the Woodlands. These are good websites for housing in the Charlottesville area: http://www.brac.com and http://www.mycaar.com

Good luck

My boyfriend and I put in an application for "The Hamilton" 2 bedroom at Carriage Hill. It's very spacious (with tons of closet space and a huge master bedroom) and reasonably priced. Carriage Hill seems like a nice community, I just wish the gym was bigger. But, we have access to the UVA gyms so that's not a problem.

If i'm going to ask the fin. aid office to increase my COA budget after I get a new computer, I need to wait until then to apply for these loans, right? Because the bank won't just arbitrarily increase the amount of the loan later on, will it?
Ok guys, I got the info from the school. Go ahead and apply for loans with the current COA. After you have bought the computer and have the receipt and whatnot then you ask for the budget increase. Then you can get an increased loan - what really happens is that you then get 2 loans, instead of one. If you want me to send you exactly what the Fin Aid department sent, then PM me.

None required for grad students. I'll be at Avemore and they just asked me for a copy of my acceptance letter.

I was approved today for Arlington Townhomes. I have a nice little yard and will be offering Ubu up as a free pet-sitter while your pooch runs around :P

Still need to work on the roommate situation, but it is early.

I'm bumping this since I know there a bunch of people to add (Waterman, etc.).

I think we're close to topping Michigan's TLS representation. Yet one name still remains unaccounted for....Whenever you're ready Guy, you let us know. 8)
