enjoy Hogwarts!amberb94 wrote:Hi everyone! I've been considering my options and I think I've decided I will be attending Michigan. It is my dream school so I think it is worth some debt even though I got a lot of money to other places. I'm hopefully going to visit next week. I'm sure I'll fall even more in love with it once I see it in person.
this makes me really excited! I can't wait to visit during ASW in April!S.Picquery wrote:Wow, guys. Wow. The UMich NYC alumni event last night was AMAZING. Met so many awesome and impressive people who legitimately wanted to help. Even before committing, they just wanted to be sure that we weighed our choices and did well and, and, and... but the thing that struck me was how willing those who work in/with FinAid were to talk about how they will be there for us even with the potential issues with PSLF to come. They wanted us to know that the school would be there for us, because if we were willing to commit to them, they were willing to commit to our future. It's a bit platitude-y but whatever. For specifics PM me, but I was super impressed.
Im honestly hoping it doesn't live up to my expectations. It'll be rough to afford and I'd love a reason to take the money at another school lolchandhi wrote:Is anyone else building up Michigan so much in their head that visiting almost has to disappoint? I'm scared that my expectations are too high.

See, it's the opposite for me. This is the second-best school I've gotten into AND the second-best financial offer I've gotten. So altogether, my best option. I love it already but need to really love it at ASW.S.Picquery wrote:Im honestly hoping it doesn't live up to my expectations.

I'm deciding bw a bunch of places at sticker pretty much so it may be... sticker. Tbf though I've worked in PI for... ever and will be gunning for much of the same so debt is less scary to me.dietcoke1 wrote:what is the minimum amount of money UMich would have to provide for people to attend?

What about Ann Arbor did you not like?! I'm curious normally it's the other way around lolbrinicolec wrote:I was really impressed with Michigan (the school) when I visited; it was Ann Arbor itself that I don't feel like I can deal with.

Yes definitely would be an adjustment from big city living.Sarastro wrote:I think we got ourselves here one of them fancy city-slicker types.Anon.y.mousse. wrote:What about Ann Arbor did you not like?!

You're from NYC or something aren't you brinicolec? I imagine that Ann Arbor probably seems... quaint in comparison
What?? Ann Arbor is great.brinicolec wrote:I was really impressed with Michigan (the school) when I visited; it was Ann Arbor itself that I don't feel like I can deal with.
Though I find NY to be the worst whereas many people consider it the best city on Earth, so I suppose it's all subjective.

Sounds prudent to me!brinicolec wrote: Am very conflicted right now. Lol.
I was keeping myself up last night but I realized I won't be able to make any decisions about this until like.. April... after I visit Northwestern.

I've been looking into the Lawyers Club, which seems kinda expensive (~$13k for the academic year) but the location is extremely convenient and the contract also includes 12 meals/week. It was recently renovated. I haven't been able to find any reviews or input for what it's like post-renovation, though...brinicolec wrote:Has anyone started looking into housing yet? If so, does it seem like there's certain places current law students recommend?
Fwiw, when I visited, both of my tour guides lived there and they both seemed to really like it. One said it was a little weird because it is essentially a dorm so you have to get used to living by dorm rules again.20172017 wrote:I've been looking into the Lawyers Club, which seems kinda expensive (~$13k for the academic year) but the location is extremely convenient and the contract also includes 12 meals/week.

I live in the lawyers club now. There arent "dorm rules" except for no drinking games in the common room. We do it anyway, no one cares really. Its really nice and the expense is offset by the convenience and the fact that youre not paying for a 12 month lease somewhere else and then eating a loss when you sublet it. Plus you get food and theres a nice social aspect to being around other law students all the time and getting close with people who you may never have class with.brinicolec wrote:Fwiw, when I visited, both of my tour guides lived there and they both seemed to really like it.

I haven't looked into it much because I have a pet so I can't live there.
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Thanks for the input. Any comments on how the food is? Is it served buffet-style or do you order individual meals?dabomb905 wrote:I live in the lawyers club now.

A2's housing market is ridiculous. People find their apartments in the fall. But there are definitely still places (it's just harder to find one really close to the school). I'd suggest looking at houses over on East Universitybrinicolec wrote:If apartments are on WL right now, is it likely that they will end up with openings or...?
Now there's a charge.
