You are sooooo awesome for this goldmine. You and the search function are very well-acquainted. :P

kingjones59 wrote: Pav has definetely replaced Ivy as the "hub". Every single pregame I went to this semester (a lot) was at the pav. Should you personally live there? That's up to you. Everyone agrees it's overpriced, the per month parking is stupid, and the electrical bills are mysteriously abnormally high.

Also, living outside "the hub" will not change your social experience at all. I live driving distance away from the law school and just cab it. Believe it or not, you will want to avoid other law students at all costs at some times. Law school will become your life and it's tough to survive it without occasionally gaining some perspective. Can't do that by walking out of your room and running into other law students all the time
Hmmm, interesting. Do you find these all to be wealthy and/or scholarship students or do these people just not care they're paying double Ivy, haha. Would you mind sharing how much you paid in bills over there?

I definitely think people can be just fine socially living away from the "hub" like you and many other people said they have, but with a lazy socializer like me it actually makes a difference. I understand the whole, getting away sentiment though and the way in which it can be overwhelming. These are all things to consider as we weigh housing.

Great! Could you share your experiences at Pav vs Ivy?

I did and forgot the attachment. This doesn't bode well for something, but I'm not sure what yet.

I think I was 15 last year, and I got a place fairly easily. I think up to around 40 or so you're fairly safe, but don't quote me on that last part.

Submitted also around 12 to the Jeffersonian but haven't heard anything back yet. Getting nervous...

Hello everyone! I also am an accepted student for the fall (deferred during last year's cycle). I am in the twenties on the waitlist for Jeffersonian, so hoping for the best for all of us. :)

Welcome to our thread and look forward to seeing you in Charlottesville!

I am pretty sure law school is better suited for Ravenclaw and Slytherin than Gryffindor, fyi.

Haha, it seems more suitable for Gryffindor than some other schools I suppose.
