Northwestern 1L/2L/3L/Grads Taking Questions and Challenges Forum

[Dr. Filth]

how frequently do students encounter opportunities to go to Bulls games for free?

Why would students get to go to bulls games for free? Nosebleed tickets are like $75

The school actually gives a free ticket out to all those that get A+'s first semester.

I would not know about that.

that's why TLS is so useful. a good cross-section of the class. i remember i scalped two of my tickets and made $500. ty, northwestern.

What the hell is the northwestern difference if i have to pay 3 figures to see a bulls game? Isnt this school a nouveau riche factory? Unimpressed...

If you make a persuasive plea on the listserv, someone will probably start a youcaring website for your tickets.

Just say your tickets were stolen.

Kellogg is the nouveau riche factory. NULS makes lawyers.

On a separate note: Do transfers get an admissions packet with swag or anything? I may have just missed it b/c I moved, but I've always liked admissions swag...

you'll probably bet shitty waterbottles and shirts at orientation. spoiler alert: the letters on the water bottle will fall off within a year.

The only swag I got as a 1L was a t-shirt and a legal folder portfolio, and the portfolio I had to earn by winning the stupid orientation scavenger hunt.

ETA: I also jacked unsubtle amounts of candy bowl on CSO's front desk.

ETA2: Oh, I guess I got a NU laptop/iphone/ipod skin early on too. Total chick magnet, that one.

Unfortunately, tuition was raised only 3% this year, so the swag will be limited.

I'll get it to you next poker night, but the clock is running...I might get a prescriptive easement on it soon enough.

How much alcohol is typically involved in this?

as much as you want, and if you want to come get blackout and keep buying back in you're definitely invited.

abso-fucking-lutely

[dempsey6]

Very random question but has anyone ever heard of a law student getting a home loan (post 2009)? Looking at the prices to rent and makes total sense to purchase a place, financially at least… especially if we work in the city after 3 years at NU.

I dunno but I can't imagine the "I have $20k in guaranteed income for living costs from student loans and no guarantee of a job in the future" is gonna wow a bank.

I would bet one has to present additional evidence of credit worthiness.

I know some married folk who own their home so I've seen it happen but maybe that's just because their spouses are bringing home dat bacon.

Well, I have a condo (at home) and make payments on it, but for damn sure I didn't get that loan while being a student and living off student loans. I got it while I was working, and I have a tenant paying rent in it now (theoretically).

Wife and I bought a house when we moved here, but had to rely solely on her income. Student loan left over won't count as income for underwriting purposes.

A couple months ago, the discussion about suits in 1L came up. I glanced over it, but I didn't see an approximate date where 1L folks would need to have a suit ready to go. Anyone have an idea of the earliest we might be looking at a formal business attire for events?

I'll let someone correct me if I'm off here, but the earliest thing I can think of is the mock interview program in the Fall. I think it happened around mid-October? But even that's optional. The earliest you'll HAVE to own a suit is before Spring OCI, which takes place end of January.
