Student housing applications are open! Where's everyone applying to?
So far I'm putting Lyman before Rains - from what I can see, both look about the same, except that Lyman has a piano practice room. Am I crazy?

Username? Because Tolkien's Eagles are badass.
When I'll be bothered to find the avatar I want, it'll be the cover to either Robot Visions or Robot Dreams. Or one of the robot murder books. Because Asimov's robots are badass.

GTFO NOOB
At least that one would get a chuckle out of me.

I didn't get any funding from the department.
I wish there was some other way to get funding, i really wanted to go to that school!
I got the letter today - and I'm not getting any funding either...

Reminds me of Weird Al's "Your Horoscope for Today":
"A big promotion is just around the corner - for someone way more talented than you." (Or something along those lines)

Aero & Astro MS here. Unless they change their minds by mid-March.
I have 2 questions for anyone familiar with the university and/or the area-
Where can I rent a plane and go flying, and do I get a student discount? (Is there any place where I could continue to learn aerobatics?)
How easy is it for non-music majors to play music? (I play the piano and the organ, but I haven't found any organ around where I am right now, and I miss it...)

Getting back from the day's classes. I (naturally) checked my emails before preparing my dinner, and I saw something about a Student Visit Day. So basically, I knew when I opened the message that I was accepted. I then called my parents, aunt/uncle & grandparents, told a few friends, and went back to work. Fraking Java.

When I start grad school this fall, I'll have to wait nearly 2 months until I can legally buy alcohol...
Then again, it's not like I need it.Apparently, age matters not too much, since I got accepted!

I certainly hope they take more than 4 or 5 students. Last year, they took 3 students from my current university. This year we're at least 2.
what (if anything) was said about funding in your admission email/letter?
Not much of anything in the email - it was essentially an invitation to the Visit Day. The only other useful information (well, apart from being admitted
) was that we'd get a more detailed letter by March 20.So excited!

Looks like I got an EV studio - and I'm wondering if I should ask for reassignment.
Rent is $1181, which looks like it's below average for Palo Alto, but a tad expensive for on-campus housing. There's a piano room. It's decently large. So far, so good. And I won't have to worry about bothering a roommate - which is precisely what bothers me a little, because it's easy to go antisocial...
Thoughts?
