Re: Columbia Class of 2020
Where are y'all trying to live next year? I'm personally hoping to get 400 block of West 115th or 420 West 116th St. I've only visited NYC once in my life, so anything further than a block or two away from the law school feels like it'll be a little much for the first year.

H just doesn't have the mythic appeal to me it does for a lot of people, idk.
As a type A who likes having everything planned in advance, scrambling at the last minute to change all my plans for a last-minute H acceptance sounds like a nightmare for me. Add that to the fact that I'd be guaranteed to pay sticker there and I'd prefer to stay in NYC, and it was an easy decision to withdraw.

Has anybody seen the 3 and 4 bedroom shares? Are they as bad as they sound? My biggest fear now is getting one of those assigned.

Is housing actually assigned May 15? Pretty sure the app is just *due* by May 15 and we find out later what we've been assigned.Thelaw23 wrote:I sent all my documents in by the March 1 deadline.jpark86 wrote:when did u send your financial aid questionnaire?

Re: Columbia Class of 2020
Went to NYU ASD today just to get a better sense of the difference between the two schools.
CLS and NYU couldn't be more different. That neighborhood is like something out of RENT. If I needed signs that it isn't for me, the last things I saw before I left "campus" were: a guy walking barefoot on a city sidewalk (wow), and another guy who I thought was homeless based on his appearance until I realized he was clearly carrying school books.
Cash me uptown how bow dah.
