Texas Class of 2012

If it is free, why would anyone opt out of it?

Well, 'free' in the sense that the $700/semester is already factored into your tuition bill (according the that poster I quoted, at any rate). I'll try to call again tomorrow and get a clear answer.

haha, that sounds like the worst kind of free to me

I called the student health insurance office today and they told me it'd be almost $700/semester. that DOESN'T include vision or dental. that seems so expensive! what are you all doing for insurance for the next 3 years?

I called recently and they just told me that health insurance was included in tuition. That was nice to hear b/c university insurance is really convenient for us out of towners; but $700 is rather dear. For those going w/o the university insurance, did you have to fill out a form or something to opt-out?

wait, health insurance included in tuition? Are you sure you heard correctly?

Yeah, this...

Okay, so the relevant tuition fees only cover unlimited doctor visits at the school facilities. Nothing else is covered - no rx, no lab work, no xray, nothing. For all those things the university offers the unh plan, which is around $400 for fall semester. Seems like a bit much for someone young and in reasonably good health, but on the other hand it covers most things 100% w/o deductible. No vision or dental though. Hmm..

$800 for both semesters? that sounds like a pretty good deal. med insurance during undergrad was around $2K/yr

I presume the $800 will include coverage for the winter break? Anyone know how much it costs to extend it during summer? Link?

Yes, the fall plan goes from 8/25/09 to 1/14/10. It costs $258 for the summer plan. The total cost is $1100 annually.

$1100/yr isn't so bad. Too bad that doesn't include dental.

Has anybody heard an update of when they're releasing the class schedules/society assignments? I'm getting curious...

I called the Dean's office with this question and was transferred to the Office of Student Affairs. I was then told that rising 1L's will receive their class schedules closer to orientation.

Of course, this doesn't help much. I don't care, though. We can't change our fall schedules, so how advantageous would it be to know beforehand?

I was considering enrolling in the student health plan, but I just noticed that it has a lifetime maximum benefit of $100,000. The low deductible is tempting, but as a healthy individual, my main insurance need is catastrophic coverage. $100,000 wouldn't begin to cover a serious injury (ie, hit by a bus while riding my bike) with multi-day hospital stay.

I'm going to keep my shitty slightly cheaper high deductible plan. It sucks and never pays for anything, but at least it has a $1,000,000 maximum benefit, enough to cover all costs (minus deductible) if something truly horrible happens to me.

It's be nice to know which profs we are going to have. Gotta compile their past exams and try to get outlines as soon as possible.

How do you even begin looking for past exams?

[RATRATRAT]

How do you even begin looking for past exams?

--LinkRemoved--

But make sure to ration them--if you go over them without really knowing much, it kind of wastes an exam.

Also, some aren't on here, but if you ask the librarians, they can tell you where they are in the books & you can photocopy the rest of them.

We should be receiving our section assignments in a week or two, right?

Do you already know that many people at UT Law who aced 1L?

If anyone is still looking for a place to stay, let me know. I will be transferring to a different school, but I renewed my lease because my place was too good to move out of if I ended up staying in Austin.

The apartment is an excellent one. It's fairly large with tons of closet space; has a great a/c and heater; is extremely quiet; and is in about the best location possible - it is literally a 30-45 second walk to the law library, door to door. I was able to make the grades to transfer (well over a 4.0) largely because my apartment was quiet, spacious, comfortable, and practically attached to the law school.

It's a 1BR unit with a dishwasher. Residents have access to inexpensive ($1 @ to wash and dry) coin laundry facility in the basement. Parking is included in the rent, which is $715 for a 12 month lease. Utilities are approximately $110 per month. The rent is well below market, based on the research I did before I moved in. Send me a PM if you're interested.
