  1. There are a bunch of websites to choose from.  There is also a list of apartments with student reviews on the purdue housing section.

     

    I found one that generally had positive reviews, location, and price.  I then called them and asked them to do a video tour of the apartment for me.  Thought it matched what I was looking for and got it.

     

    Honestly I have lived in some shitty places, so if it is not ideal I can deal with that for a year.  Just spend more time in the lab.

  2. My place is 490 for a one bedroom 620 square feet.  Also madscience I will be getting there around July so am super excited.  Gonna spend that last month getting read to start TAing.

  3. Prestige will just make it a little easier, if you are going academic then your own accomplishments will matter much MUCH more than the name on your degree.  Just might have to work a little harder at networking and interesting research is all.  Which will be a lot easier because you will be a lot happier(plus no funding? fuck that)

  4. Shortlist I believe means they have not decided who they are accepting yet and have limited it until some new information comes in(like an invitation weekend)

     

    Waitlist means that you are not in the first round of acceptances, but if someone in the first round declines then you have a chance.

  5. Yea I decided to go with ABF Upack, a combined load up at one of their centers and a door drop off in my new location.   Only ends up being around 400 bucks.

     

    I am under 25 so cant get a truck also this way I have an option of storing it for a month and saving a months rent if I want to.

     

    Also I own nothing worth more than 300 bucks anyway so that doesn't bother me.  Need to try and sell off more stuff to make sure I get it down to one pod.

  6. Anyone else read the january SIOP?  First article is about admission criteria and weight for programs.  Thought it was quite interesting

     

    Also yea, that was my thought process.  I am going to wait until I get an official acceptance and then decline interviews/wait list from the other programs.  No point in waiting when my decision is basically made.
