(is that good?)
You should definitely come down and visit, especially for the big events. And feel free to stay with me! and in case i forget to invite you closer to actual events feel free to email me and invite yourself!Holly Madison wrote:well.. you guys will always have a place to stay.. as long as i get invites to the softball tourney, foxfield, febclub, etc!
Graduate Centre seems like a good fit as far as wanting more roommates goes. I'm the same way - I want a little law school family I can have family dinner nights with (hear that boys? you supply the food and i will cook it). you could always get a room with a loft - it provides an extra space that you could use for studying.shadowfish wrote:I'm not looking for much. I'd like a den/separate study place. I kind of want my own bathroom, too. I don't have pets and don't want to live with them. I've never lived without my own washer/dryer, but I don't see why I'd object to a communal laundry room.cantwaitforuva wrote:Shadow can you tell us a bit more about what you are looking for in an apt? Do you need a place that takes pets, etc. Do you need a WD or are you cool with a communal laundry room, etc.
I just started looking into the Graduate Centre and that sounds pretty okay too. It doesn't have a separate study nor does the living room/kitchen seem big enough to really want to hang out in much, but I'll definitely consider it. I'd like having 3 roommates a lot better than having 1.
Okay June, I'll tell Wally and the Beav that dinner's ready.I'm the same way - I want a little law school family I can have family dinner nights with (hear that boys? you supply the food and i will cook it). you could always get a room with a loft - it provides an extra space that you could use for studying.
Ding ding ding! See, Gtown (Aegisthus) seduced Holly (Clytemnestra) and made her betray UVA (Agamemnon). Hahahawesleybs wrote:Sia, is it Clytemnestra and what's his name slaying Agamemnon? (obviously I'm not a classicist) sp*?
Yes, Wahoo99 is definitely thinking Grad Centre for 1L (although I haven't put down a deposit yet b/c I haven't settled on which of their units I'd actually choose.)gladiator wrote:Ubuntu, OldBlue, Hokiefan, (Wahoo99 maybe), and I will all be living in Graduate Centre so you'll have plenty of TLS people in close proximity if you pick it. The living room/kitchen area isn't great but I don't think you'll get anything better unless you're willing to live somewhere like Woodlands and drive to school. Can't beat the convenience to the school and Barracks though.
Just applied at the graduate center! So far, there's nobody else in Apartment 2. I'd love to have a 1L apartmentWahoo99 wrote:Yes, Wahoo99 is definitely thinking Grad Centre for 1L (although I haven't put down a deposit yet b/c I haven't settled on which of their units I'd actually choose.)gladiator wrote:Ubuntu, OldBlue, Hokiefan, (Wahoo99 maybe), and I will all be living in Graduate Centre so you'll have plenty of TLS people in close proximity if you pick it.

That's mainly because last time I checked with the lady in the rental office who helped me, hardly anyone had turned in personal info sheets (where you talk about how quiet/neat you are, what household items you can bring, etc.)
Gladiator: I take it all the people above already have their roommate situation set?
p.s.--I think this post pushed us into the 100th page. What a thread!
They are decent. I was actually going to live there next year but found something that is a little bit cheaper and is available a sooner. The pros: the bedroom is relatively big and has a large walk-in closet, the neighborhood is quiet and would be an easy place to study, the grounds are kept up nicely, nice balcony, and no more than 8 minutes from downtown (grad. school student hang out). The Cons: kitchen could stand to be updated, about 15-20 minutes to the law school (after driving, parking, etc.) It is worth a visit to see if you would like living there in my opinion. I believe cantwait toured also.wesleybs wrote:so how are the Lakeside apartments? I'll be in a 1br 1 bt (married).
i'm not sure what their thinking is.haha well as long as chicago doesn't throw more than 8K/year my way we should be all set.gladiator wrote:Yea, Ubuntu/Old Blue/Hokiefan/me is 1 suite (Suite 11) as long as Ubuntu doesn't ditch us for Chicago which we pray she won't.
It's not bad. I toured and I like the floorplans, the large balconies, and the closet space. It is a bit older though, so the appliances are super nice and things look a bit dated. They're updating their fitness room so that's nice, but I didn't like the look of the clubhouse - it looked a lot like the lobby of a Best Western. I would take Carriage Hill over Lakeside because the price is basically the same and it's a newer building. All in all a pretty nice place, but you might be able to get something nicer for the same money.wesleybs wrote:so how are the Lakeside apartments? I'll be in a 1br 1 bt (married).
