Upper deck at Wrigley can be okay, depending on where you end up.Desert Fox wrote:I was planning on using stub hub.ncct07 wrote:FYI....those games are sold out per the Cubs website.Desert Fox wrote:The cubs play the sox at Wrigley in June. Who is in town then?
Ouch paying 60 for upper deck makes my wallet hurt, but its a possibility if people want to go cheap.
I will be 23 soon. Can I play?LieutKaffee wrote:I'm 23. Let's be friends.MusicNutMeggie wrote:I finally got accepted yesterday after being on hold for about a month--- yay!

Thanks-- sounds like a plan!K's Logic wrote:I really wouldn't worry about age re: friends. I am on the wrong side of NU's average age of 26, but my age hasn't stopped me from making some really good friends that are 23 or younger at my current school.

So let's be friends.
Technically, I won't be 23 until May 11, so if I can play, so can you!AddyO wrote:I will be 23 soon. Can I play?LieutKaffee wrote:I'm 23.

I know there were a few people on the facebook group looking for roomies.MusicNutMeggie wrote:Does anybody else think it's a little weird that Northwestern doesn't have a roommate/housing search site for the law school? I know that I want to live as close to the campus as possible, but I really don't want to live by myself, so I don't want to rent a studio. I'd really prefer to live with a law/med/business student, too, since I figure we'd understand each other's schedules more...other than a random Craigslist search or chicagoreader.com, anybody have any ideas?

Ugh. I almost wish I hadn't gotten in so that I wouldn't have to turn it down.

I'm from the NY area and wanted to work here. Fordham should be the easy choice, but turning down better schools is tough...especially a better school with no debt. Also, recalculated debt and it would be UCLA (62k debt), Fordham (51k debt), UMN (0, of course)Sauer Grapes wrote:Where do you want to work?
