  1. I visited, does that count? Fairly small little town, but loved the college town vibe. Great old buildings and churches, next to good quality restaurants and things to do. Hop on the train and be in Copenhagen within 1 hour, or head up to Stockholm.
  2. So the 2 rarest types in the overall population are the 2 most common found here so far. Very interesting!
  3. I'm also backpacking for 5 weeks, but in Europe . So excited!
  4. havent been there, but have been in that area a lot growing up. I looked at attending there for my MS. They have a decent engineering program from what I understand. Summers are quite warm and great for outdoor activities. I'd say May-Sept are going to be nice or warm. The housing is very cheap for the US because it's a smaller town, but limited options like you said. A lot of the off campus housing is made of modified houses that look like party houses, but there are decent places if you find roommates. Your first year it might make more sense to just live in any graduate housing they offer. Very walkable town. You wont need a car in town to get to campus and all over, especially if you get a bicycle. The hard part is that you need a car to get to the airport or to get out of town I think. Maybe there are other options? Not sure.
  5. $0 after undergrad and graduate degrees, and looks to be $0 after phd too. Yay me! Scholarships plus working full time while doing grad school part time allowed me to pay all owed each semester.
  6. Seattle has a great bus and light rail system that everyone uses. UW has student bus passes for about $100 per semester, which is a good deal. Fast bus to downtown takes less than 15 minutes. Lots of new apartments and amazing student dorms all built in last 3 years next to campus. Univ housing is less than $1000, plus they own apts near campus for about $900 for a single with hardwood floors. Lots of hiking and camping, but that's harder to get to without a car. You can take the ferry to day hikes on the islands though. City is super dog friendly, lots of dog parks and people bring their dogs to the beach to play. Food can be expensive if you're not careful where you shop. Beer is pricey too, not as many cheap student deals Never been to U Mich area, but also hear good things. Tough decisions!
  7. Omg it's Shia Labeouf doing another "I'm not famous" performance art
  8. I know for Yale they told me I had to send in my official transcript before starting classes and they expected me to have roughly the same GPA upon graduation as what I submitted as part of my application. They told me there was no official cut-off but if my GPA fell by roughly 0.5 pts or more (3.8 to 3.3 for example) that could affect my admission offer. Keep up the grades!
  9. UW = Univ of Washington or Univ of Wisconsin depending on where you live. My favorite of all time though are the "BSU Beavers" from Bemidji State University in Minnesota.
