ZacharyBinks Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 So... Kathleen Griffin just called to let me know that travel expenses WILL be reimbursed after all. So disregard everything I posted about earlier. Same here! I was so relieved! It also alleviates some of the anxiety about differential treatment we talked about earlier.

sebastiansteddy Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 They've got a remarkably easy bracket. Haha, I know nothing about college basketball, but sources tell me they're good this year. And I heard they're seeded number 2 in their division? I AM a huge college football fan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougarstigers! Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 hey there, potential bus-towners! as i make up my own final decisions, i did just want to reach out again and say HEY! i have a cheap cool lovely apartment in the best neighborhood, ever -- SERIOUSLY, i wish i didn't have to move anywhere else; and am actually kind-of super-bummed to have to! -- that i'll need someone to take up in either early july or august, depending on what i find elsewhere. i'll be out of town for most of next week, but will definitely be home by sunday, march 31st, if anyone is still around; i could also try to share pictures! again: WISH I COULD STAY HERE FOREVER; and, since i know i'm so freaked out considering neighborhoods and only having craigslist as a metric for the places i'm considering moving to, please feel free to PM me for any neighboorhood suggestions, or if you have specific buildings, streets, &c., in mind! yay columbus! and welcome to all who are gonna be coming to visit!, cougars!

kikalique87 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 it does make me a bit nervous that there could be some sort of divide in the department between those on fellowship and those on normal TA-ship (which a current student sort of suggested on this thread earlier). I just wanted to clarify this point I made in a previous post. It's not like there's a rivalry between those on fellowships and those with TA funding (definitely not the Jets and the Sharks by any means). It's just more difficult for students on fellowships to meet other people in the department since we're not part of the two week pre-semester teaching workshop and taking 4 classes means a different schedule. Everyone is very nice in the department; it just takes more effort for people on fellowships to develop relationships because there's not the immediate bonding experience that the teaching workshop provides.

brigadierpudding Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm visiting OSU this weekend! Just got into Columbus a few hours ago, and I drove around the High Street, OSU campus, the Short North, Downtown, and Victorian Village. It seems like a cool town.

Yeah, I thought I knew who you were too, but I wasn't sure how to ask it in a way that wasn't creepy/awkward (especially if I asked the wrong person). It was great to meet you!!
