Maybe Cambridge Common if you all want to sit down and have some pub food.dcg2120 wrote:I asked to stay with a student but I guess they might run out of space.Spritzpiggy wrote:I'm planning to fly in Saturday but I'd definitely be down for a meet up.

We were talking about a meet up a page or two back, but we never agreed on where. Is there anyone from the area who can suggest a place that would be fun, but calm enough that we could talk to each other?

If I remember correctly you can reserve some space for a group at Cambridge Common (and also is a block from the law school)domino wrote:Maybe Cambridge Common if you all want to sit down and have some pub food.dcg2120 wrote:I asked to stay with a student but I guess they might run out of space.Spritzpiggy wrote:I'm planning to fly in Saturday but I'd definitely be down for a meet up.

Did you guys check out the "outside scholarships" yet? I looked and not a single one of them applied to me. Sucks.

At least you got a ticket, bro. I read through them like "OK, here we go... nope. Alright, this has potential... uh-uh. Race/ethnicity, yes! Nope. Graduated from a college/university in... no NY... nope... uh-uh... nope"Mr. Elshal wrote:Only one applies to me but I'm pretty sure it applies to thousands of others, so I'm not too confidentfacile princeps wrote:Did you guys check out the "outside scholarships" yet?

Haha as I went through it I had the feeling I'd get nothing for being a New Yorker. There was nothing for my race. My last name had nothing and I'm a descendent of no college educated people because I come from an immigrant family. The only one that fit was for my religion, and it's pretty rare to be the only one following a specific religion at a school like Harvard. I'm gonna try for it, but I've accepted the fact that I won't get it.facile princeps wrote:At least you got a ticket, bro. I read through them like "OK, here we go... nope.

Also, I think this is the point in your life where you have to decide if a legal change of name or converting to another religion is worth over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to you.

Re: In at Harvard: Class of 2016
So has anyone looked at booking a hotel ahead of time for the March ASW?
Looks like the Sheraton Commander http://www.sheratoncommander.com/ is within walking distance and the cheapest that close to the Law School. And by cheapest I mean about $200 a night w/taxes. Any females looking to split the cost of a 2 double bed room?
Otherwise I'm going to keep looking...

I knew I had seen this page on the HLS website and I finally found it. It's a list of accommodations (some with a harvard discount). If you find someone to share with, some of these are not too badanela00 wrote:I used Hotwire and got a four-star hotel right by a T-stop for $91 a night.usafgirl wrote:So has anyone looked at booking a hotel ahead of time for the March ASW?

I was afraid they'd tell me the day prior that none of the students could take me and then I'd end up with an expensive hotel room...Spritzpiggy wrote:

Just looked at how they want travel subsidies requests- at least ten days prior, and you have to mail it in! All of us March people better get those in soon!

Mind sharing the name of the hotel? I don't know anything about Boston and it would take me a long time to figure out which cheap hotels are near good T-stops...
