So WSU has a Facebook app for new students (apps.facebook.com/wsu_app/). It was a hassle to get signed into it, as my email address wasn't yet officially registered with the school, but if you email the app managers or post on the "WSU Future Cougars" page (https://www.facebook.com/wsufuturecougars) they'll help you get it. I haven't really played with it much, but it seems like it might be a good way to find potential flatmates... Hope you all are having a grand finals week. I graduate tomorrow!

@jaylizzle - I am seriously jealous right now; the bear center was one of the most impressive things about the university to me! Do you think they let non-biology folks tour the facilities? As for the housing front, I've been doing some research and it looks like DABCO is the way to go. I'm all about cheap, so if I can find a roommate, I'll probably get one of the 2 bedroom units at Providence Court or one of the other properties close to campus. The hard part is finding a roommate who is reasonably clean, quiet, and sane...

@ncgirl- Hah you're lucky, I live with 4 other roommates right now. I like that (it's cheaper and they're fun), but I doubt I'll be able to make friends quickly enough to get the same situation in Pullman. I also really need to get working on making some cash this summer, or sell my motorcycle. I'll probably do both, considering our stipends aren't quite as generous as I'd hoped Good to talk with someone going through the same things though! I wonder if Dr. Preston would send us our cohort's contact info, so I could see if anyone else is interested in splitting a place... hmm...

I finally sent off my acceptance for WSU's offer, so it's all official! I'm feeling pretty much the opposite of ncgirl though; I can't concentrate on this last week because I'm too busy getting ready for the big move! There's plenty of admits to WSU this year (9 in my program, according to Dr. Preston), so I'm sure that this board isn't representative of the entering class. Jaylizzle, if you don't mind me asking, how much are you going to pay per month for your unit? I haven't looked too much into housing yet, but I'd prefer to live off-campus, I think.

I'm not sure if I'll be attending WSU or Stony Brook (I've got offers for both in Political Psychology), but I'm leaning toward WSU right now, considering I can live in Pullman without being constantly broke. Where were you thinking about living? I'm not sure if I wanna do on-campus or off, I guess it just depends on living expenses and convenience.
