  1. Thanks for all your tips! I really appreciate it! So even if I don't plan on moving out until August, would it be possible to secure a place now? How would that work?
  2. What I mean by outdoors is he chills on the porch or fence most of the time. He'd be fine indoors, too. Thanks for the tips/info.
  3. I have an older cat that spends most of his time outdoors. I also have two dogs - one is a chihuahua/terrier mix and one is a pomeranian/terrier mix.
  4. Hey all! I just found out I was admitted to Harvard. I'm pretty excited but also freaking out about housing, especially since I have pets. What are my options?
  5. I know! I'm still in disbelief! I'm also anxious to find out when financial aid info is sent!
  6. AHHH! Accepted! TIE! OMG!
  7. ughhh yes I just want to know already!
  8. Aw, I got rejected. I'm not too heartbroken about it though since I knew it was a long shot. Good luck everyone!
  9. I sure hope so! This waiting is driving me nuts!
  10. According to the HGSE website, it says Ed.M. notifications will be made available online March 24th?
  11. I also applied to Stanford GSE. I applied to the Learning, Design, and Technology program. Ahhhhh! FREAKING OUT.
  12. I really wish it was March already! This wait is making me crazy!
  13. I have a cat and two dogs. I rescued my cat when I was on a trip in Tijuana, and both my dogs were acquired through Craigslist. Owners basically couldn't take care of them anymore. My place doesn't charge for a pet deposit - just a monthly pet fee of $20. The last place I lived at charged a pet deposit and pet rent. Really, it varies. I know some apartments restrict certain breeds or have a weight requirement. I lucked out with the place I currently have as it has a huge yard. I installed a doggie door and the dogs are able to access the yard to do their business. I'd say if you're going to get a dog, get an older one. Puppies require much more time/attention and you really can't leave them unattended for long periods of time, even if they are crate trained. I'd also go with what others have said - wait until you are settled in - but in that case I'd say find a place that is pet friendly. I have used craigslist to find all the places I've lived at, and always check the 'cat' and 'dog' boxes to see the pet-friendly results. Obviously, you want to ensure you are able to take a dog out on daily walks and whatnot. Dogs can get destructive if they don't have an outlet for their energy. I learned that with one of my dogs when I first got him....I would get home from work and find the place destroyed. I definitely recommend crate training or taking them out before you go to work/school. As for the costs....I go to the weekend low-cost vaccination clinics at pet stores to get my pets their shots. I got my pets neutered at a low-cost clinic as well. I do, however, have information on the closest vets/clinics should an emergency arise. I get a huge bag of dog food which lasts about 3 months (this might vary on breed). Supplies/toys/etc. can be found on craigslist for cheap. I'd say the costs are mostly in what they destroy. The start up costs of getting a pet are maybe around $250-300. However, if you adopt from a group, your pet should already have its shots etc.
  14. I hadn't heard of it and just googled - seems interesting! I'm interested in hearing others' experiences as well!
  15. keep teaching but perhaps in another district...maybe move to somewhere new. I'm ready for a change of scenery. contemplating retaking the GRE/reapplying....I'm kind of burnt out, though.
