  1. duncandam - Thank you so much! This is really helpful.
  2. Hi duncandam! Thanks for your post. I was actually looking at a few places in the area around Mail El stop and found the prices to be reasonable. you mentioned it is a nice area... If you have time, would you mind telling me a bit more about the area? Is it safe? Are there a lot of coffee shops around? Are there grocery stores? Is it residential or are there restaurants/shops etc.? Many, many thanks in advance!
  3. I'm working and trying to save up some money! But some reading might not be a bad idea.
  4. Hi guys, I'm a very awkward sort of person and going to an office of the cerebral gods I so admire (my profs) is very daunting... I also felt very awkward buying any sort of gift in the first place... But! I do think I should do something. So... A card for sure, but can anyone think of something else that is very non-awkward and non-committal... Chocolates feel so.... utterly over the top romantic (in my case anyway). Advice: much appreciated.
  5. I am working at a retail store (selling) and it is awful that I have three whole months left here! Now that I know where I will be doing my PhD (Northwestern whoo hoo) it's been hell trying to do well at work! I dream of dusty books and infinite libraries... I never thought I'd say this, but I yearn to write a paper! Instead, it's three more months of "Hi, can I help you find your size? All of our shorts are on promotion this week!" Sigh.
  6. Hi everyone! Am going to Northwestern for German Lit and Critical Theory. I am very excited! Now, what's all this about not living in Evanston? I was hoping to live as close to Uni as possible... Not a good idea?? :shock:
  7. I got into the English program at UT but I won't go for sure becasue I did my MA there (and my BA as am matter of fact). I might visit UNC/Duke (yep, joint German) in a few weeks. I am visiting Penn and Brown in a week or so. Those are my top choices, and unless I get a bad vibe from both, I probably won't go for UNC. I still don't know, though. It's so tough to decide there things. So many factors: city, faculty, etcetc.
  8. I got in!!! Are you going to visit the campus?
  9. I got into Brown and Northwestern. Do you guys know anything about Brown's German Program in terms of rankings, reputation etc?
  10. Can anyone tell me anything about the German program at Brown? Does anyone have rankings of US German programs? Thank you!
  11. I got an informal acceptance via e-mail about a week ago. Good luck to you, I hope you get in.
  12. I got in to Penn Comp Lit & Lit Theory. I got an informal e-mail about a week ago, and am told that my official letter is in the mail. Good luck to you.
