  1. Moving from NYC will probably be a big change, but there is definitely still a lot of fun stuff to do in the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). Southern Village Apartments are nice, a little pricier than other apartments in the area. I think there are a good amount of professionals/grad students in them. Southern Village is on several bus lines also. Meadowmont Apartments are similar to southern village (from what I have heard). I live in Chapel View Apartments, which are nice because the price includes utilities (elec., water, cable, internet), you can get a furnished apt. if you need it, and the bus runs very frequently. They have one and two bedroom apartments and are geared towards students. However, they are pretty quiet and I think there are not too many undergrads in the complex. Website: http://viewstudenthousing.com/. Mill Creek is close to campus, but it is mostly undergrads. Any apartment complex off of Martin Luther King Blvd. would have access to the NS and the T buses, which run quite often. If you look up chapel hill transit, you can find all the info. about the bus routes and compare that to places you are looking at. A lot of grad students actually live in Carrboro, which can be closer or just as close to campus as Southern Village. There are also several bus lines that run in Carrboro and if you bike it is a great location for that. I don't know too much about the apartments there, I would just avoid Kingswood, Abbey Court, Pinegate, Estes Park, and any other properties owned by GSC Apartment Communities. They are really cheap...but you get what you pay for. I looked into Hillmont apartments, which are one bedroom places in Carrboro, but I never actually viewed them so I can only say they look nice from the pictures I've seen. Craigslist for Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill is a pretty good source for privately leased places, especially places close to campus. If you want roommates, there is a section for that and they normally say whether they are grad students, etc. Sorry for the rambling post! Just let me know if you have any other questions
  2. Hello! I am going to UNC next year to get my masters in speech pathology. I did my undergrad here so let me know if you have any general questions about the area.
  3. Hello. I just wanted to say I accepted an offer to attend UNC Chapel Hill's program. I just declined Teachers College, Emerson, University of Florida, University of Central Florida, East Carolina University (about a week ago), and University of South Carolina-Columbia (about a week and a half ago). I hope declining these offers will open up some spots and help some people on the waitlist!
  4. Thanks for your advice. I will try to contact some more current students from the different programs. I am definitely grateful that I have so many programs to choose from since I didn't really think I would be in this position. Good luck with your own decision making! Have you decided on a school yet?
  5. I am having a hard time deciding between programs. I finally have heard back from every school I applied to. Here are my acceptances: University of North Carolina Chapel Hill-I am an undergrad here and so I would get in state tuition, they also gave me $3000 to help with tuition. I really do like it here and the program, but I would also be interested in experiencing another program/part of the country East Carolina University-not as recognized as UNC but in state tuition + $6000 per year on the condition of doing a masters thesis (they want to know in the next couple of days) Teachers College-This one is most likely way too expensive and a stretch, but I do like the program. Also my bf will be up in NYC next year University of Florida-My mom is down there so it is possible I might get in state, but I won't know for a while, also they said they didn't really have any funding this year. Also a good program. University of Central Florida-mostly considering it due to the location near family, and possibility of a full scholarship (not sure when I will find out) Emerson-also expensive and more of a stretch but also like the program I got into University of South Carolina-Columbia, but they wanted me to give them a response within a week of finding out I was accepted. They wouldn't give any extensions. So I am pretty sure they gave up my spot. I wish all schools had to let us know about funding before we have to decide on a program. I am leaning towards UNC Chapel Hill but I would appreciate any advice you all could offer. Thanks!
