    Austin, TX

    I am moving to Austin for June and July before classes start. I want to get to know Austin, maybe meet some people ahead of time. Is it pretty hard to get a job down there? I'm thinking of just doing the food and bev thing. I don't know a soul, so I will just be walking up to restaurants and applying.
  3. As of yesterday morning, I am now officially going to be a Texas Longhorn. I will be at the School of Architecture. I'm visiting at the end of this month to meet the faculty and check out the city. Can't wait.
  4. So I scheduled a meeting a while ago with an adviser of a school, lets say U of ABC., but now I have chosen another school. I scheduled the meeting and the trip before I knew what school I was going to be accepted at. I am still going on the trip, because it's located in a cool city and I'd still like to see the campus. Now that my future school is set I'm not sure if I should even bother going to the meeting, because the school is no longer on my radar. However, I feel the opportunity to talk to them about graduate school might prove worthwhile. Maybe there is some good advice they have to offer, maybe not. Does anybody have two cents to offer?
  5. I applied to about 9 schools. The things I spent money on were (1) sending GRE Scores (2) sending Transcripts and (3) filling out applications. After I took the GRE, I sent 4 schools my scores (included with the test). I had to pay $23 each for the other 5 = $115 Transcripts were $8 per school (and some requested 2). (x 10) = $80 Each graduate school application, on average, was about $70. (x 9) = $630 There were other things I had to pay for, but this was the bulk of it. Total Damage = $825
  6. Thanks a lot. I definitely appreciate hearing a voice of reason- especially when my mind is racing over all kinds of imagined possibilities.
  7. I have been doing some research on some of the schools I have been accepted to, and UT-Austin is one of them. One of my concerns is that the title of the program, for some reason, comes off weak. Why not City and Regional Planning like its UT-Arlington counterpart? Also, the fact that it's located in a school of Architecture bothers me a little. I know that this is a Tier 1 school, but does the Community and Regional Planning degree hold wait from UT? I really wish I felt more confident about the school, because Austin, TX is such a great city. I would love to live there. Can somebody offer me some insight into prestige or lack there of? I have been going over the website intensely, but not a lot seems to catch my eye compared to GATech's, Rutger's, or UNC's website. Anyways, any information would be appreciated. I was just thinking today how I have never been at a bigger crossroad in my life than in the next 30 days. It's excitement, anxiety, fear and hope all rolled into one.
