You'll stop being excited real soon when you find out what your money buys you at Gewirz

Is it THAT bad? Like... NYC dorms bad?

I guess there's no bringing my cat?

Why anyone signs up for living like a college student for three more years is just beyond me

[Thelaw23]

Honestly it's cool with me since I commuted from home for UG.

[Thelaw23]

Another question, is it ok if I start dealing with financial aid and all the forms after I get my scholarship email in February?

I filled out FAFSA but that's about it.

Don't forget PROFILE if you're applying for grants.

Is it ok if I fill that out after February?

Even one year is absurd to me

How diametrically opposed to commuting could you be that you need to live 2 minutes from class and all the seeming misery that comes with Gewirz

I'm not really sure, but I always did NeedAccess as early as possible just to get it out of the way.

Yeah I would have been 0% interested in living in Gewirz. Although they also don't allow pets and/or spouses, which was the real deal breaker.

Mostly because you wanted a pet?

Wanted to keep the spouse around too but yeah mostly the potential dog

Does anyone have any experience with David Super (for Property or other courses) or Eloise Pasachoff (for The Regulatory State)?

Pasachoff was great her class is great and her house is dope 10/10 recommend.

Her exam is a bit unusual but that makes it pretty learnable

Anyone taken the Negotiations Seminar, either with Stephen Altman or generally? How much work am I looking at, and what have the curves been?

Virtually everyone in my Property [in time- §3] class hated Super except for me. He's a very disorganized thinker, so you need to really work to follow his thoughts. But once you get the hang of how he thinks, he'll teach you why the law is the way it is.

Get "Law in a Flash" cards for property, and read stuff online about the few complicated rules regarding future interests, RAP, etc... You'll be fine.

Hard teaching issues aside, he's a lot of fun in the classroom. But that's cold comfort if you're lost the whole time. YMMV.

Know someone who took it (not sure with who), and said it was the easiest course they had in law school.

I took negotiations with Altman. It's pretty much a breeze; there are some reading and journaling assignments but it is really, really not hard. Grade curve as I recall was harsh for a seminar but only because there were so few people. I think like one person out of 10 got an A, 2 got A-, and then a smattering of B+ and B's

Ugh, that is brutal. I'm trying to decide between that and a class with 76% A's/A-'s but would cause me to have a 5th exam and class from 9 AM to 6:20 PM straight on Tuesday.

Serious question: Do grades still matter for you? Altman is fun and if you give a shit you'll at least get a B+ and no exam

JFC 4 exams spring of 3L no thank you

Does anyone have any experience being in DC for inauguration? What's my likelihood of hitting traffic from Hill East --> Union Station at 6 AM?
