I think our tuition rate is locked for all three years?boozehound wrote:I'm starting to think the state budget shortfall is going to screw up the University schedule or at least make our tuition skyrocket. Not too happy with my UMN choice right now.
Someone addressed that in the facebook group and Rachel said they aren't anticipating many issues for the law school students at this time - the link she shared did say that it looks like a lot of construction projects are going to be put on hold though. Here's the link, though I'm not sure how helpful it will be: http://www.mndaily.com/2011/06/08/shutd ... e-projectsboozehound wrote:I'm starting to think the state budget shortfall is going to screw up the University schedule or at least make our tuition skyrocket.

I thought that it was not locked for all three years, and that it was likely to go up each year (at any law school, not just UMN). I'm not really sure though.loblaw wrote:I think our tuition rate is locked for all three years?boozehound wrote:I'm starting to think the state budget shortfall is going to screw up the University schedule or at least make our tuition skyrocket.

At ASW someone addressed this (can't remember who), they said that the majority of tuition increases apply to 1L tuition for the incoming class and that once you enter law school your tuition is only raised minimally for the second two years, it's not exactly "locked", but it also won't go up substantially either.Tim0thy222 wrote:I thought that it was not locked for all three years, and that it was likely to go up each year (at any law school, not just UMN).

Also, in regards to the state budget shortfall thing, the Dean of the law school said that only about 10% of funding is from the government right now, and that they're moving toward becoming a private school, so I don't think it will be total apocalypse.
Haha if its half as good as u made it seem then it sounds great! Whats the deal with the mandatory lap top purchase? I literally just got a new one a few weeks ago as I did not think I would get in off the wait listweber35 wrote:I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine.

The deal is that it's mandatory. For realz. They add it to your federal loan and hand them out at orientation all set up with the necessary software. It's really nice in that no matter what goes wrong with your laptop and no matter the reason, they'll fix or replace it immediately. But it blows for people like yourself who just bought a new system or people like me that don't like working on PCs.justhockey31 wrote:Haha if its half as good as u made it seem then it sounds great!

Hey, I'm in the reverse situation in that I didn't think I needed to buy a laptop, and now I do. Perhaps we could work something out?justhockey31 wrote:Haha if its half as good as u made it seem then it sounds great! Whats the deal with the mandatory lap top purchase?

We live not too far from there, and from what I can tell it's not the best part of town... we walked over there going to the hardware store when we first moved in and just didn't get a good vibe from the neighborhood. I have a friend who is from Minneapolis and when we were looking at places we considered it, but she google-mapped it and said it's not a great neighborhood.yoshi wrote:Can anyone tell me what Cedars 94 is like?

Apparently Minnesota weather does not understand the concept of moderation! I have heard that some of the lake's have public beaches. I am not sure about that, but look at Lake Calhoun. Trust me it will get very cold sooner than you would like!boozehound wrote:ilovetosleep wrote:Dear Class of 2014,

Where's a good place to go swimming? This heat is crazy! I thought this place was suppose to be cold.
I'm not sure about Calhoun but Harriet has some nice public beaches. I would be really surprised if Calhoun didn't have any though.ilovetosleep wrote:Apparently Minnesota weather does not understand the concept of moderation!
