Hi,

I did complete a pre-app for the Emerald Downs Apt; it seems closer to campus but I'm not sure whether they are considered 'loud' like Terre View are...

I am planning not to have a car for the first semester or so, and since I'm totally unfamiliar with the area I would want to be close to several outlets such as coffee shops, grocery, etc. and the closer the apt is to the bus stop and the closer the apt is to school, that would be best.

If things don't go well with Emerald Downs, I was gonna go with Terre View (formerly North Campus Heights?) but Terre View does seem shady!

Oh yeah, I'm also on the waitlist for on-campus Fam/Grad housing but I've heard it's hard to get a spot, and also the rooms don't seem as nice as off-campus, and convenience wise, I've heard it's not much of a difference (perhaps more inconvenient since it's more walking to get to the pharmacy school building, and they are not on the Express Bus route?)

Thanks! Any info is so greatly appreciated!

Best regards...

apologies for typo earlier (can't edit my post), WSU is located on College Hill, so for proximity purposes, places located on College Hill would be a good bet.

I have heard of bad experiences from other grad students who have rented from some of the management rental companies, but none from Dabco though. And re: graduate housing, I hear similar things from the grad students as well; plus the prices seems to be a bit steep compared to off-campus housing.

Really??? Is it highly quantitative? Gosh! I am a highly qualitative person and have just confirmed my enrollment with my deposits. I am accepted by UIC, UMass and FSU too. But I have rejected UMass and FSU just now. Should I accept UIC instead? Or should I bear with being quantitative and learn to deal with numbers? Is there really no room for qualitative persons in UW?

Hi HKgal,

i think your best bet would be to email the professors you are likely to work with and see what is their response. you might also consider emailing their current grad students to get an inside scoop of things. While some departments are heavily quantitative, there may be faculty who are still very supportive of students who do qual work.

Hi! I'm glad I found this site. I'll be attending WSU Pharmacy in Fall 2010.. I'm from CA so I have no idea about how Pullman is. I've done hours of research though. Question - have you heard anything on these apartments: Terre View Crossing on 1540 NE Merman Rd ? (www.terreviewcrossingapts.com). How does it compare to Dabco? Rent at Terre seems cheaper bigger and pretty close to campus!

Any advice you have for me regarding this is greatly appreciated...

Best regards!

Hi Eunice,

I am attending in the Fall as well, and have made contact with a number of grad students and faculty regarding housing and the general area. A few of the grad students warned me about Terre View, and to avoid places on Military Hill if you are not the partying type, since there are lot of college students living there, as it is closest to WSU.

If you have an idea of what kind of housing/environment you prefer, let me know, and I will see what I can do.
