  1. How important is the "With the resources provided by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, I will" sentence/paragraph? Mine is 5 lines long and right now I am 7 lines over the 3 page limit on my personal statement. Overall, I feel like it isn't very compelling and everyone says something along the same lines, so I could just completely remove it?

  2. You'll be hard pressed to find apartment complexes that are just graduate students. There is a graduate student housing complex on campus - called Odum Village I believe - but I never thought it was very nice. 

     

    Most graduate students in my experience lived in Carrboro or north of campus off of MLK, which is a pretty convenient area due to the frequent buses. I'd just take a look at all the apartment complexes off MLK (avoid Chapel Ridge and the one right beside it). There are also some in Carrboro. I'd just take a look at reviews. As is the case with housing in most areas, the cheaper it is the worse it is. But either way, most complexes will have a mix of undergrads, grad students and working professionals. If you have questions about specific places I'm happy to provide input.

     

    Do you know anything about Town House Apartments. There are only 3 reviews online. The place is cheap and close to campus though. 

  3. Anyone got tips on how to go from honorable mention to awardee? Only one of my reviewers really provided useful feedback. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about letter writers next year since I will be a first year grad student. 

  4. I can't decide if I should contact them or not. My top margin on the second page isn't one inch. If a reviewer looks at it I don't think I would be DQ because it is clear I wasn't trying to squeeze in extra text. I'm freaking out though.
