Ahhh... fair enough, save your monies. I would kill to go to europe again this summer!!

IT'S THE LAST SUMMER OF FREEDOM. MUST SEIZE OPPORTUNITY BEFORE CHAINED AND ENSLAVED AS A REAL ADULT FOREVER.

Where are you thinking about going? I'm torn between cycling the Scandinavian peninsula or taking a (first class, don't worry, haha) train trip across India this summer. Ahhh, last summer of freedom...

Greece, Balkans, Italy, Spain, and Portugal for me. TLS European meetup!!!

I'm planning a pretty massive trip--London, Scotland, Dublin (James Joyce tour!), Paris + South of France, Germany, Barcelona/Madrid/Ibiza, Cinque Terre, and Belgium... maybe Greece or trying to pop into Venice as well so I can see it before it goes under. Not nearly as impressive as cycling through Scandinavia or braving India, though, props.

Ohh, yay! I've been to lots of those places. My only advice: When you're in Dublin, stay away from Temple Bar. It's like spending an unpleasant evening in a shitty college town in the States. When you're in the south of France, make sure to travel between locales via train. It's as much an event w/ as attractive a view as most potential destinations. And when in Cinque Terre, make sure you do the hike. All 5 towns (it's only like 4 or 5 miles, if memory serves). Preferably by yourself. You will see some of the best views of your life.

Oh cool guys...

[sinfiery]

Both of those sound awesome. I'll probably do Europe after I relive the fear of going out into the real world after graduating/passing the bar.

Ah, thanks for the tips! Definitely planning on doing the Cinque Terre hike--unfortunately, I'm going with three friends, but maybe I'lll try to run ahead of them by myself for a bit.

+1

And... ALWAYS CHECK IN ONLINE/PRINT BOARDING PASSES BEFORE YOU ARRIVE AT THE AIRPORT!!! Haha, I'm sure you already know that, but unless you want to be paying hundreds of dollars in bullshit fees, follow that advice 100% of the time.

ETA: You can book train tickets as you show up different places. I don't think there's any difference in price and it's more convenient in person than online. The flights are a different story.

Ahhhh, okay! I did Cinque Terre yesterday and it was only about 50 pounds (!!!), but I'll try to do the rest ASAP! (Which means I actually have to solidify my travel plans first...)

Also, if you're brave, check out Euroline and Megabus - you can get crazy good deals on bus rides if you're looking to save money. I bought a 30 day pass for about £190 and then I just slept on the bus in between countries.

Complete 11/30. Still waiting. Anyone else chilling since November?

Yes. Lots of us are. You should really read this thread, lol.

I read a few pages back, but there are over 100 of them, can't keep up!

It has been over two weeks since an acceptance, right? Rough.

Yes! Euroline and Megabus! I definitely used their seats as (very uncomfortable) beds as well.

And carbon, I got a flight from London to Venice for 23 pounds last summer. Haha

Oh and one more thing... ALWAYS ALWAYS VALIDATE YOUR TICKET BEFORE GETTING ON TRAINS IN ITALY. If the machine doesn't work, FIND A CONDUCTOR BEFORE HE/SHE FINDS YOU. Same applies to Switzerland.
(Whereas for the UK, I learned that you can get on the train and wait until the conductor finds you to pay. Although booking online is cheaper.)

Werd.

Also, thanks, Carbon, for taking our minds off of the interminable waiting.

[carboncopyx]

Noooo, thank YOU guys for offering such great tips and advice! I'm going to have the greatest pre-law school summer.

hey guys - new to TLS here. i've read the last few pages. congrats to anyone who's heard good news so far.

i was wondering, are acceptances always made with a phone call? and is DLS usually bad news?

Welcome.

Admits are always via phone call, and DLS without a phone call is always bad news.

[targaryengirl]

thanks. i went complete in jan. since we've waited this long/longer, i'd like to think we weren't automatic rejects...heh

I wouldn't think too much about it either way, too be honest. I went complete in October. This is kind of just SLS's style, haha.

[ssanonymous]

when are deposits due for SLS and when is ASW? Here's hoping a ton of applicants withdraw before my DLS comes through.

I wish something would happen.
