Re: UVA Class of 2017
I'm giving myself about a week before orientation to move in. I honestly don't even think that's enough time to get settled into C'ville but I don't want to be bored either.

Re: UVA Class of 2017
In Re Mac or PC?
I'd like to share my opinion on this and potentially save some of you incoming 1Ls some much needed cash. The things you need a computer for 1L are: taking notes in class (assuming you don't do hand notes), typing up outlines, doing legal research for LRW/ looking up case briefs, and taking an exam at the end of the semester (which must be done in Microsoft Word). A $400 PC surely suffices to do all these things, in addition to being ample for your leisurely netflix, internet browsing, etc. Seriously, if you are buying a new computer for law school, skip on the $1400 mac and save a G and go with the PC. If you already have a Mac then use it, it will work just fine just like literally any other computer. But the sooner you start minimizing all cost associated with law school the better off you will be.

Re: UVA Class of 2017
Another one for the first week of August. Hopefully there'll be other people moved into Ivy by that point so I don't have to spend 3 weeks in desolate silence. It should be fun

Re: UVA Class of 2017
The first weekers will have to meet up! I'm turning my living room into bar-ish area, so we'll have to have some pre-orientation fun.

For when you guys get to Cville, check out Fridays after Five on the Downtown Mall. Also, I'll be back in Cville at the end of the second week of August if anyone wants to meet a rising 2L (send a PM if you want to meet up)RCO2012 wrote:Used to having people roaming in and out of my house, so no problem with the same thing in Cville.

Re: UVA Class of 2017
Hope everyone is just enjoying their summer. I was traveling for a few weeks myself. Still haven't locked up a place in Cville, finding it much more difficult than where I'm coming from in Salt Lake.RCO2012 wrote:This thread is so dead. People traveling possibly?

Re: UVA Class of 2017
I signed a lease at Woodlands. Very nice place + I got a $800 dollar signing bonus. It's about a 10 min drive from the school but seems worth it for the size/quality of the apartment and amenities. Planning on moving in first week of August, looking forward to meeting everyone!

Re: UVA Class of 2017
For sure. We did finally get a place today. Was a bit harder with our dog and my wife's wishlist but I'm very excited with the place we got and we're going to be out there the last week of July.RCO2012 wrote:I miss the ease of finding housing in SLC (and the affordability as well)!!
