wow reading Wood's memo for the exam, im not sure what exam i took!!!

[lawschool2014hopeful]

Went through the thread the 2nd time for housing questions. Thanks for all the responses so far.

I am currently looking at some graduated school housing, particularly #18 on http://rp.uchicago.edu/graduate_housing/locations.shtml

The reason is that #18 appears to be fairly close to regents, with a significantly cheaper tag.

However after looking at a map of Chicago, it appears to be a train crossing or something of the sort between #18/graduated housing and Regents, would that mean it is impossible to walk over there?

Is it practical at all to live in one the graduated school housing and expect to be within SAFE walking distance to regent (under 10mins)?

Or should I follow the herd and go Regents? (I am leaning towards this because I would know literally nobody in Chicago and its surrounding states, but I am bit turned off by the apparently problems with new management and the constant noise from renovation).

Furthermore, it seems like is impossible to find an apartment for Regents in July given their 14 day holding policy. Should I be worried of not being able to finding a studio available in Mid-August in Regents?

Thanks for answering the questions!

#18 isn't that close to regents. I mean, it's close enough. But #25, 26, and 27 (and that cluster) are much closer.

Dude, it's not the Berlin wall. The metra does run along the east edge of Lake Park. You can cross under bridges at 51st, 53rd, 55th, 56th, and 57th.

Basically anything on the east/north side of hyde park is safe walking distance to the regents area. Also, there are shuttles that run at night, every 15-20m. The East is the one you'll be looking at.

Can't speak to the Regents questions. It doesn't seem like people had a problem securing a lease last year.

Sorry I am map-stupid, you are right the 25 clusters are much closer. Thanks for answering!

Would I be missing out alot in terms of social experience by living in those clusters? According to google map the walk is only 10 minutes. I assume you are saying that there is a shuttle that takes people from that cluster to Regent and there is a nearby bus location to the law school?

wow reading Wood's memo for the exam, im not sure what exam i took!!!

I hope that means she's done grading. In terms of timeliness, she was the one I was most worried about.

Dammit why did you have to tell us the memo is up. I cannot resist reading a prof's memo even if it just makes me extremely depressed until grades come out.

And just for the record, her test sucked almost as much as her class.

1. Is the memo on Chalk? I'm not seeing it.
2. You shut your mouth about dwood. She is a national treasure.

Unbelievable. I would have done the write-on if I knew this was gonna happen. What great timing.

Suppose this means we can take one fewer class?

That's what it sounds like. This makes me consider Moot Court though.

WhenInLaw you could have warned us buddy

Don't even care. I would rather pick a class I might enjoy than have the chance of earning three credits be lorded over me by aspie journal editors.

[Crowing]

Unbelievable. I would have done the write-on if I knew this was gonna happen. What great timing.

lol yeah I'm just glad that I have no interest in a journal whatsoever because I would have been pissed if I had even the slightest interest and found this out after the fact; that was a big douche move on the part of the school IMO.

I did the competition because I didn't want to regret anything. Now this makes it more likely I'll actually join a journal if accepted. This seems particularly great for canceling out the workloads of secondary journals. LR doesn't seem like it'll be that much better.

[2014]

Journals either make sense or don't for your goals it's pretty binary. There is no person who should be pushed one way or the other by credit. They require far more work than a 3 credit class does too, by a magnitude of like 3 for secondaries to upwards of 10 for LR.

Fair enough. What's the workload like for Moot Court?

Didn't participate but I gathered it was very manageable compared to journals.

[florida1949]

when do we find out about journals?

[2014]

It was right around the time bidding opened last year, maybe a bit before.

Haha, sorry guys. Wish I could have, but they would have flayed me. Could be worse - you could be me! Boy did I enjoy writing that Comment for nothing.

And for the person that asked about journals, expect the calls to be in about a week.
