Hi folks! Hope you're doing swell.
For those of you who have already been to an interview weekend -- do you have any advice to quell my nerves? I'm heading to UWashington MCB this weekend and am a bundle of energy.
Thanks in advance!
Don't be nervous! Don't be who you think they want you to be...be yourself! Remember you are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you. I'm sure it may be different at different schools, but all of my interviews have been more like a conversation than your typical idea of an interview. Know your research and be ready with questions that will help you in deciding if their program is right for you! Good luck!

Try to find out if the apartment has their own bug guy (every single one I've lived in did) that takes care of the property's critter prevention. That said, living in the desert you should expect critters (I remember when I was little and my mom had to deal with a scorpion on her dress she took out to wear) and just know you will have to invest in diatomaceous earth.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi everyone,
I really liked U of A and am considering going to graduate school there after my visit. Any advice on the best studio/one bedroom apartments? I'd like to have utilities included if the rent is over 600. Would like to stay under ~700 total a month (rent and utilities). I'll have a car but would prefer to be within biking/walking distance of the university. Also VERY scared of the bug/roach possibility. My friend is at a graduate school across the country and had to move three times before finding a place without little critters running around.
Also 4th ave kind of sketched me out. Any areas aside from Univ. St. that are popular?

I actually just got an email interview invite a few hours back. So maybe, there's still hope.
When did you submit your application?

I'm also wondering like seventwo, I submitted my application for Vanderbilt's IGP right before the priority deadline. Has anyone heard interview offers around/past that date? Don't want to be impatient....but I am
Already emailed another school checking on my status in which they responded saying they would check and let me know...that was over a week now....
Getting very anxious because I only have one interview offer so far in which the interview date is coming up soon.

I completed my undergrad at OSU. Definitely possibly to find affordable/safe housing! Indianola Ave is not what I would consider dangerous at all. it's an area that a lot of undergrads live in. on the east side of campus I would say stay west of 4th ave, south of Hudson, and north of maybe 8th ave. You may be able to find some cheaper suburb areas (Grandview and Clintonville are some of the more expensive ones) and I would advise staying away from south east of Columbus. I currently live northwest of campus. TONS of good eating in Columbus. We're a bunch of foodies I'd say. Lots of quick options on High St and near campus. I would advise against a meal plan. I did mostly cooking during the week and will adventure out to places for food on the weekends.
