  1. Okay, I'm going to be heading down to Gainesville in the fall. I know almost nothing about the place except that I loved it when I visited. I'm a single male in my early 20's, and while I value my social life,I am by no means a party animal. I'm looking for an apartment complex that is graduate student friendly, and I'm more than willing to have roommates (in fact, one might call that a necessity). Does anyone know which apartment complexes would be a good fit for a person in my situation? As always, I thank you in advance for any feedback!
  2. Does anyone know the best way to find roommates if you're an out of state student?
  3. the FAFSA people almost gave me a coronary. They really need to get their ducks in a row!

  4. I'm looking to go to grad school to get a master's of education, but I have no intention of teaching; I plan on being a school counselor. Does anyone know if I would still be eligible for federal TEACH Grants?
  5. By the way, I haven't accepted their offer yet, but I'm 99.99% sure UF is where I'm going. I don't really know much about the area, except that when I went down there for a visit/interview I thought it was beautiful and weather suited me nicely. Anyone have any info on where to live/not to live?
  6. Hello all, I was recently accepted into my top choice school, as well as my safety school. I'm almost certain that I'm going to end up at my top choice, but should I hold out and wait for my second choice to get back to me to see if they offer me anything in the way of funding and try and use that as leverage with my top choice? Granted, I know that almost no one in my field gets funding for master's level work, but is it worth trying?
  7. Just saw where other people were starting topics for other schools, and I thought perhaps I should start one for Florida. Feel free to post!
  8. By UT do you mean the University of Tennessee or the University of Texas?
  9. Well I called my top choice over their Spring Break and asked when they'd be sending out notifications, and they'd told me they put them in the mail the previous Friday. So I pried a little deeper, and asked if they knew whether or not I got in, fully expecting to get my feelings hurt, and it turns out that I did get in!!!
  10. Really not much for me to say, but I'm glad I don't have to make a decision like that. Here's to hoping you two make the right decision. Good luck.
  11. If you're significant other is willing to drop everything and move to wherever you're going to school then I think it would be be kind of cold not to bring them along for the trip. Obviously you wouldn't bring them to official program functions like interviews and the like, but it doesn't mean that they can't come on the trip to get a feel for the region; you know, like looking at potential apartments and finding out where the hangouts are. Granted, I'm not married, let alone engaged, but if I were I'd definitely bring them along. LadyL, That second reaction you got from that program just seems terribly cold blooded. I hope everything worked out for the best with that. Best of luck!
  12. I'd try to contact them and check. Most of the time I'd just say they probably haven't made a decision on you, but UT has a propensity for administrative and clerical errors in relation to a bevy of things (financial aid, admissions decisions, class scheduling etc.). Once you're enrolled there, you will come to know it, along with tens of thousands of other Vols, as the "Big Orange Screw". With that being said, Tennessee is an excellent school with great professors and and amazing research opportunities (their library is WONDERFUL!). Plus, Knoxville is an extremely fun town, and Volunteer sporting events are some of the most fun you will ever have (or so I hear). But yeah, back to my original point, I'd just call them up and ask when they expect to notify people of decisions; you don't even have to give them your name if you're worried about seeming overeager. Good luck!
  13. Best of luck teaching... they're laying 'em off left and right (both good teachers and bad teachers)down here! Damn budget cuts! Anyway, best of luck!
  14. That's what I've been told as well, not only from other applicants, but from people working in admissions at schools that I have applied to.
