Hey folks!
Sorry for posting something negative about housing and then disappearing for a month. This is what I wanted to warn people against:
"All mid-rise apartments have one bedroom. When two single students are sharing, the living room may be converted into a second bedroom, separated from the kitchen by a privacy divider. In these cases, students often agree to switch places mid-year."
I had a friend who lived in a "second bedroom" in EV and it was just the living room with a bed in it. No privacy. Terrible - they really shouldn't do that to adults.
On East Palo Alto - EPA is only a 'ghetto' in comparison to West Palo Alto. It's actually a very interesting area with lots of nice neighborhoods. If you have a car, no reason not to live there. Just make sure to check the place out first.
On Munger: I'm a joint JD/PhD student so I'm getting all the info on Munger. It will be mostly law students, though I suppose the exact percentage depends on how many JD students choose to live there. We have priority and then they give away the rest of the spaces. My impression, though, is that it's basically a law school dorm. Sure there are some spaces available though if you get lucky.
Cheers.
