Aero/astro in the space propulsion lab. I keep changing my mind about the 1 bedroom versus having roommates! Ah I don't want to part with that extra $500 a month

Hey I am an incoming PhD student as well. I am entering the lottery and hope to get my own 1 bedroom, even though it will cost me a small fortune. I have a fiance so when he comes to visit I'd rather not have roommates, and I like my "me" time anyways. But I'm trying to stay on campus because I want to be able to meet people fast and the residences do all sorts of fun events. I have a friend who lives in Ashdown and she loves it, so I'll probably do this my first year and then once I'm there and have made some friends I'll look for off campus housing with roommates my 2nd year. What program are you in?

I read threads on grad cafe when I was originally applying to grad school in 2008, and have been since while waiting for fellowship decisions like NSF and this one. I just signed up today to say: I got NSF, and if I also get NDSEG, I'm not going to post it on here because you're all a bunch of weird conspiracy-theorists that I had hoped had better things to do than harass the poor souls that posted their decisions on here, but it looks like I was wrong... very wrong.
