I'll be starting at SMU in the fall and will be living at the Village a little northeast of campus. It's a group of several apartment complexes ranging from about $650 for a studio to $2500+ for a three bedroom. There are a LOT of options. Here's the website: http://www.thevillageapts.com/ Some factors that sold me: 1) The SMU DART bus runs through, and it's a short bike ride to campus (10 minutes max). It's also close to the DART rail. 2) It's close to Central Market, Whole Foods, Kroger, Target, and a bunch of restaurants. North Park mall is less than 5 miles away. 3) From what I've seen and heard, a lot of students (both graduate and undergraduate) live there. 4) I haven't actually seen it, but apparently there's a pond in the middle of the complexes with jogging trails. There's also a country club-type establishment, sports fields, and I'm sure even more fancy amenities that I'm not and will never be aware of. 5) This doesn't matter to me much, so I don't really remember the details. But, since I'll be a TA, I got a few discounted services for being an employee at SMU. Needless to say, on my stipend, I'm renting one of the cheaper efficiences for $685 . Hope this helps! Feel free to message me!

I got an unofficial acceptance e-mail on Feb. 27 from the graduate director saying that an official notification would be e-mailed out in about two weeks. I don't see any place online to check... I e-mailed my potential advisor at USF and he said they usually admit about 15 MA students and 15 PhD students per year. Don't know if that helps. Congrats to both of you for getting into UF! USF said they'd be sending out funding notifications the week of March 19th (as did another school I was accepted into), so hopefully by then we'll all be hearing some good news.

Hey everyone, Is anyone planning on attending the University of South Florida for anthro? I got into the MA program in medical anthropology (hoping to stay for my PhD), and I'm leaning heavily towards accepting the offer but want to wait until funding decisions come out before fully committing... So... any potential classmates?
