Am I the only one who has yet to find an apartment? I am becoming slightly nervous

[shanejamin]

Let's plan to do something the week before orientation. I have a wedding in Tulsa the weekend of the 21st (ARGH), but will be in town the whole week before.

AND. AND. My apartment is one block from the Flying Saucer.

VICTORY IS MINE!

You're probably not the only one, but you definitely should get on it, like, today. Ingot mine this last weekend, and most of the locators I met with only had three or four units left in each complex.

[JordynAsh]

Sounds like we have a couple then. Lets do a get together mid-July and then another right before orientation. Anyone opposed?

I mean, we have to have SOME social life before school starts.

+ a billion. im down!

Count me in! I'm still sad I missed the Stubb's ASW meet up

Is the Flying Saucer the bar at the Triangle or are there multiple?

[Army2Law]

It's at the Triangle. Also, has anyone tried to get a parking pass yet?

[sternc]

I got a parking pass. Came in the mail just a few days ago.

the summer one i assume right?

[Army2Law]

How did you go about getting it? The only ones I saw on the website were summer passes.

[sternc]

It is the summer one. Later in August, as it gets closer to its expiration date, I will automatically receive a notification to re-up for the fall.

^ nice! i was so tempted to do the same but i wanted to gamble.. hope i can still get one lol.

[Army2Law]

Hmm... I like your style, I may just do that then. haha

i'm doing the same, because i would like to keep my extra $130 lol. if i don't get SJG, i'm going to get a permit for Manor and then transfer in hopefully the next semester.. and sweat like crazy on my walk to class. *sigh*

If there's one thing we're serious about ITT, it's style.

I also have not -- eek! I'm trying to do this asap, since I'll be out of the country for about a month before school starts, and want to get it figured out before then (obvi).

i am going to pee my pants soon. so much suspense! i don't find out if we're getting into the on-campus housing until next week, so i haven't deposited anywhere. the lady made it sound like we had a decent shot at it, since less people qualify for a two-bedroom than a one-bedroom. i'm glad so many of you have secured housing, though!

USA Today article 6/24/10 by Doug Stanglin

The national recession can't stop Texas cities from growing. Four of the 10 fastest gainers -- including No. 1 Frisco -- are in the Lone Star State, according to Census population estimates out today.

USA TODAY's Haya El Nasser reports that Texas escaped much of the downturn because of a diversified economy that includes oil and high-tech.

From 2008 to 2009, 11 of the nation's 25 fastest-growing cities with more than 100,000 people were in Texas.

"The star of the Sun Belt,'' says demographer William Frey, of the Brookings Institution. "It's big cities, it's oil, it's the suburbs. It's a diversified economy. People are moving there for high-skilled and low-skilled kinds of jobs.''

Among the big Texas gainers: Dallas suburbs, such as McKinney, Carrollton and Lewisville; oil centers Odessa and Midland and high-tech hubs and state capital Austin Both Frisco and Odessa passed the 100,000 mark.

In light of the last post. This might have been posted, but I did not see it.

[mcflooter06]

I sent my final trancript in today, and since I know some of you were asking, here is the address where it needs to be sent:

The University of Texas
Graduate and International Admissions Center
PO Box 7608
Austin, TX 78713-7608


It says that transcripts are to be submitted "no later than three weeks after your registration at the law school." It then has a phone number to call to make sure transcripts were received: 512-475-7391

It amuses me that the No. 1 city on the list (Albany, N.Y.) isn't even mentioned in the article.
