Thanks all, it definitely could have been the day and I'm going to try not to rule it out based on one bad visit. I've been looking at apartments so if you have questions about a certain one feel free to ask! As a warning, I feel like Woodbury gardens (my former top choice) is super sleazy; they refuse to give you a quote on rent but require a $1000 nonrefundable holding fee. They did say that their prices are at least 200 more than they are listed online so that's sketchy already :/

This makes me very sad; they've been nice over email...

Same here I had planned out my life in Ann Arbor pretty much based on living here lol. It was a huge disappointment, the lady was very Trump-ish (e.g. "I'm the best, people like me, Woodbury is very well regarded")

As much as living in the "Trump of apartments" appeals to me...

Woodbury: Making Ann Arbor Great Again

Where are people thinking? I appreciate those who put in the hard work of figuring these things out so I won't end up living in a cardboard box

On a more cheerful note, a big shout out to those who were at the reception in DC last night!!!

Not sure if anyone has posted or not, but Fall 2016's class schedule has been posted if anyone is interested.

When do we get to find out what section we're in?

For me, it was about 2 weeks before class started.

Google Doc spreadsheet maybe?

When do we get to find out what section we're in?

Once you get your class assignments, you may be able to deduce at least your larger section (e.g., ABCD, EFGH, IJKL, MNOP) from the footnotes in the class schedule. You can figure out your subsection if you know your Legal Practice class assignment or have a class with only half your larger section (you'll have one such class during 1L).

If you're a summer starter, your section is ABCD.

1. Anyone tried to negotiate yet?

2. Any argument against Lawyers Club?

1. Yeah, not successful. My other offer wasn't substantially higher though or from a school ranked above them (though still in the T14)

2. None in particular, though I'm not a huge fan of having a meal plan

found out some stuff about scholarships today talking to the asst. dean of financial aid FYI

" First, I should share that Michigan offers most of its financial aid via merit, rather than need-based, aid." "For merit scholarships, our process is largely based on LSAT and GPA, though we do take other factors into account as permitted."

For everyone trying to figure out what to do while you wait for the fall to start, I highly reccomend watching Zootopia, it was breathtaking.

[James.K.Polk]

Does everyone do a 9 month lease? Or is 12 more standard?

[jnwa]

Anyone planning on attending the roomate selection mixer for Munger? Its on the saturday of preview weekend

[Toby Ziegler]

Anyone with a spouse and/or kids have apartment recommendations? I've looked at quite a few places via web search and the admitted students page, but first hand info would be great. TYIA.

I'll prolly do 12

[Backpacker]

Does everyone do a 9 month lease? Or is 12 more standard?

I never came across a 9 month option in A2, would have been nice. Leasing companies more or less know they have college kids and students over the barrel, so they stick to the 12 month. Given the option, I'd take the 9 - sublet market is pretty weak (though, I was able to find someone each summer, at a really reduced price). Caveat, I lived right on campus, so Im not sure if this applies equally to the stuff further away. Second caveat, double check that 9 month lease end date, because law school finals extend beyond the end of the undergrad semester (which the lease may be geared towards).

Welp guess I'll start looking on zillow for a place to live. Would totally do LC if I wasn't married, but probably gonna try and find a small house.

Perhaps a Tiny Little Student House?
