Any opinions on the neighbourhoods surrounding CUA? Apartments look cheap and a little shitty and I get the impression it's a university ghetto, but what other part of DC has one bedrooms for less than 1200 bucks? And is it a long bike ride from somewhere in Maryland to CUA?

justntime, what were you able to uncover? here's what I got: two assistantships, one is spoken for. the other one either goes to the mofo ahead of me on the waitlist or to me. I don't think I got it because the other d00d seemed pretty committed to LSU-

yeah, the department is frustrating, you got that right. Two days before the deadline and none of us know what kind of funding we're getting, if any! All I know is the DGS gave poli sci two new fellowships, so money is tight. this is stressful- AthenianStranger, where are you going to be in the fall?

You might be wondering about visiting time, like I was: LSU doesn't have a designated weekend or day or whatever for visiting students. If you can find your way down to Baton Rouge, they'll accommodate you as best they can. As for the money business, the department still has no idea how much money the graduate school is giving them. it also sounds like very few admits have given them straight answers one way or the other, i.e. they don't know who's getting what-

I wrangled it out of Prof. Bratton. looks like the money situation at LSU is somewhere between serious and dire..

oops, I accidentally started a new thread for LSU. I'm waitlisted for funding and it would be great to know who else is in the same boat or thinking of rejecting/accepting..

anybody thinking of declining LSU? I'm on the waitlist for funding and its driving me bonkers!

I'm on the waitilist at LSU; anybody else in the same boat? anyone get an offer from LSU and plans on declining? This is making me bonkers!
