These apartments are making me want to go to Michigan. They are about 4 mins away from the law quad, and pretty much as close to central campus as you can get.

Those are fancy indeed, but holy crap are they expensive! To put it in perspective, that's more than I used to pay for my apartment in Manhattan (and I lived in Chelsea).

what kind of shithole did you live in Manhattan? that seems like a stretch..

Rent stabilization, my friend. I lived in a beautiful building on 23rd and 7th (right across from the Chelsea Hotel). It was a studio, but it sure wasn't a shithole.

like, a rent control apt on 23/7?

[scarletmuse]

rent stabilized, not rent controlled. But yeah.

I live 2 miles from school in a sweet 3/2 house with a downstairs bar / rupus room, a big fenced back yard, and all the free snow I can shovel for 1550 a month.

its a slight red herring then to say you paid less than zaragon in manhattan/chelsea!

Not at all. I wasn't trying to represent the state of the Chelsea rental market, just commenting that no way no how would I pay higher rent to live in some fancy Ann Arbor highrise than I'd paid to live across the street from Ethan Hawke in NYC. (Although I lived there before he did. But you get my drift).

And also, hot damn! The more impatient for graduation I get, the more online argumentative I become. There must be a correlation.

hey scarletmuse is there any truth to visiting professors getting an automatic extension?

Of an offer? Nope. Sometimes it's just a mutually parasitic arrangement. The visiting semester is often understood to be a wink, wink, nudge, nudge extended interview, though.

lolol

I've never heard that rumor... out of curiosity, what is supposed to be the reasoning behind an automatic extension for visiting profs?

no idea.

mnop is freaking out with extension rumors and 0 grades and march grade ideas. if thtey want extensions i'd like them to email all my prospective employers.

FWIW, my grade that came in today was from a visiting prof. So that doesn't mean he couldn't have had an extension if he wanted one, but it at least means that not all visiting profs are taking extensions.

[Alexandria]

Does anybody know if classes might still get canceled for lack of interest at this point? I'm in a class that doesn't start for another few weeks, and it's down to 11 people enrolled for 28 seats.

Does anybody do Northwood? My fiancee and I really want to move in there, since it's reasonable for a 1 bedroom, with the heating paid for and all.

My FAFSA has been in for a couple weeks now. I need to talk to the FAO about getting some loans locked down. Does anybody have any advice for getting ahead of the game as far as attaining loans is concerned?

hahaha no northwood. as a umich undergrad i can say thats like living in a glorified dorm. i guess a lot of people live there but you should def check htem out yourself.

there are plenty of cheap apartments on central campus, go apt hunting one weekend.

[MikeMohr]

Well, I know Northwood III basically is a dorm. Is it the same with I, II, IV, and V, then?

I have several married friends who live there. They're fine – kind of ugly, and suspiciously similar to a Soviet compound, but also easy and reasonably convenient.

The only friend I have in there is also one of your friends... he told me it takes him an hour to get to school, with the waiting for the bus and the riding the bus and the walk from the bus. Also, no A/C.

Ann Arbor isn't one of those places you can move to without checking out the place. Some places look good on the net but are pretty sketch.

pick 2: clean, cheap, close

[MikeMohr]

I just want clean, cheap, close, and enough room for my wife and our bookshelves. heh.

My bf lives in Northwood V, and it's actually pretty nice. It's all townhouses, and seems to be mostly grad students with families. It feels much more like a normal neighborhood than student living space. It wouldn't be super convenient to run there and back from the law school all day, but I don't think it would be too much of a hastle to live there.

didn't you see my post that says you get to pick TWO of clean, cheap, and close?

plz revise.

hth

[shamrock]

Does anyone know what the deal with Phid House is? Cheap and close...it seems like it's too good to be true...what's the catch?
