Does Overlook offer a 10 month option? What do the studios run per month?

If anyone know of such 10 month options, please let me know.

Campus housing is the cheapest. It's only a 10-15 minute walk to the law school. Fully furnished. I lived in the on campus housing this year and am living there next year as well.
I originally wanted to get a single somewhere off campus so I could "focus" on studying. I'm glad I didn't. I do all my studying at the law school so I feel like I am barely home anyways. And human interaction outside of the law school is always a good thing. Everyone has their own study strategy though. I know a fair amount of 1Ls this year who did do a single somewhere off campus.

Yes, the Overlook does offer a limited number of 10 month leases. I got a 10 month lease there and it runs until May 20th. I inquired about this in the beginning of February and the 10 month leases for studios were already taken and they had just a few left for the 1BR, which is what I went with. I'm guessing 10 month leases for the 1BR are probably all taken by now, though.

Maybe ND will do the same in hopes of moving back into the lower 20s? I did notice there are only 3 sections on the schedule for this fall, although I'm not sure how many students they put in each and whether they've always had only 3 sections? I guess time will tell.

Talked to Mr. Baska at admissions and got a projected enrollment of between 170-180, so I wouldn't hope for much of a reduction.

Had no idea you were considering. I think University Edge still has some rooms available. You should call their office to see if there is still a lot of space. Otherwise, you might have to Craigslist it. There's plenty of decently priced places. However...it is Craigslist and unless you're in the area to visit, I probably wouldn't commit to anything.
