Hi all! I'm looking for a 1 ba/1br apartment that is pet friendly (a small corgi) with parking. Ideally, I'd be able to walk/bike to campus. I'm okay with paying up to 2k/month for rent. I used to live in Charleston, South Carolina so I'm used to exorbitant rent lol. Where should I look? I have never been to Cville, though I am visiting in a few weeks and would love to have some recommendations on places to look for apts, eating, fun things to do, etc.

YALL! I got into my dream program at UVA!!! I can’t believe I did it!!!! i got the email while I was at my nanny job and started crying and shaking. I told my child I was happy because I was going to be a teacher and she hugged me said “I hope you will be mine next year!” Cue more tears. I can’t believe this is real!!!

I literally have been wondering the same thing...it seems as if for a lot of schools, PhDs come out before MAs. But for others, they don't. I've only heard back from two of the programs I've applied to so far.

I feel like the anxious waiting is starting to get worse after seeing so many schools release results...I know this month is like "the" month and that by the end of March I'll either have happy tears or sad ones for sure.

Hahaha!! I had a friend in high school who was a rodeo world champion. Some stereotypes are fitting I suppose.

The funny part about the "Texas girl = cattle rancher" is that the guy I'm dating (from SC)'s family are cattle farmers...my state has the wrong stereotype! Haha!

This is so true...I'm from Texas and I went to college in South Carolina. Even in SC people were puzzled when I informed them that no, I do not live on a ranch and raise cattle. My focus in lit is actually Southern lit studies and I love all these little dialects and stereotypes, lol.

It's so crazy...my house is fine but one of my friends in Austin is on day 3 with our power, has only trail mix left to eat, and was taking short intervals of sitting in her car for heat/power to charge her phone. A church close to her opened up it's rec center and she's able to sit inside there now, but it's not very covid safe...sacrificing social distancing for heat.

UVA is still accepting apps as well! Their priority deadline was Jan 15 though.

Clemson! It’s not my top choice, but I’m just so happy to have gotten in somewhere. And I really do love that backwards state of South Carolina. The roads are iced over here in Texas (crazy...), so I celebrated by driving to work really, really slow haha. I’m going to California to visit my boyfriend this weekend so hopefully we can celebrate v-day and grad school all at once!

I got into my first MA program!!! I know most of y'all are PhD applicants, but this is so huge for me!! I got offered a teaching assistantship for two years!!!! This means I can move out of my parents house in August!!!!!!!

@Bopie5 congratulations!!! You're off to do great things!

I'm starting to get nervous for UGA! It's a top 3 choice for me (and my sister went to undergrad there so I LOVE the city). Historically, their results come out smack dab in the middle of February, as in this week or next. Go bulldogs!

I really have no idea how these things work. UGA has a Dec 1 deadline...UVA has a May 1 deadline???? with a "priority deadline" of Jan 15??? what even does this all mean. Part of me says its better to wait and anticipate good news than it is to have news and it be bad. Part of me thinks It would be better to just know and get it over with. I'm thankful I found this forum to commiserate and celebrate with others

MA results usually come out later than PhD! Think around late feb - mid march.
