What's in the blue box? The velvet bound book?
No no...the blue box is an extra mailing I just got...I'll try to post a pic here, but if it doesn't work, just know its full of supplemental booklets and pamphlets discussing different programs, etc. at the law school.

The blue box is huge! I didn't really understand what it was so I tugged on it the wrong way and all of the booklets went flying.

Your priorities are all wrong. I want the velvet bound admitted students booklet.

I'm doing both as well. Haven't figured out what to do about the overlapping days though. Still, it's a good problem to have.

Checking in. Top choice so far, but the prospect of housing in Manhattan is giving me serious anxiety. I've got an SO and a dog, so a lot of the subsidized options are nonstarters. Anyone have a similar reaction/situation to making Columbia work?

I got mine about 1.5 weeks after the acceptance letter email.
Two weeks later and while I received the admitted students handbook in the meanwhile, still no box... does CLS not love me?

Hey guys. Hope to see you guys at AWS. I will be one of the 1Ls there. You'll want to come: awesome food and free alcohol. They had chefs making crepes last year, and the menu looks to be the same.

Atm, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

One great thing and one not so great thing about CLS, top of your head?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
