Same--I'm so ready to be a student again after 2 years of working. Also, want to get #swagged out at the Penn Law store lmao.

except the store is weak af. like you could deck out your entire family, home office and kitchen in UVA law stuff but Penn you can choose from two designs on like a hoodie or a tee? C'mon.

And I forgot how expensive college gear is on my last visit I went into the bookstore to buy all sorts of Penn swag...left with a keychain

I usually got a response within an hour or two, though one time I didn't hear back for a few days. I got a response shortly after I sent a follow-up email, though

Thank you! Just gauging my timeframe so this is good to know.

I would recommend asking in your email to set up a time to speak to someone. They didn't really give me clear answers via email, but they did immediately when I was on the phone

Thanks for the tip!

Do any 2Ls/3Ls/Philadelphians have any recommendations on where to buy furniture for unfurnished apartments?

There is an IKEA in south philly. Theres also a solid furniture store just west of 40th st on Market.

OP here. I was admitted but elected not to attend Penn - on my visit, I was given a "Penn Law" keychain which I'd be happy to pass along to someone who is matriculating. It's nothing fancy at all, but something cool to have. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Also, if you're feeling generous, I'd love to trade for a Northwestern Moleskine

I'll have to triple check when I get home that I didn't get too excited with spring cleaning, but I'm pretty sure I thought it was too nice to toss. If I still have it you're welcome to it

housing I've resigned myself to waiting until June... sidenote are you in the fb group? a 3L is asking someone to take over her lease for her in June... like who are you. nobody wants that.

and re: schedules, I did some stalking and sections came out on August 19th both last year and the year before, so we've got some waiting to do

LMAO yes. #ded. Though I was tempted at first because it's cheaper than the place I'm looking at now. But still no.

I stayed in west philly during ASW....so no. haha rittenhouse is the goal, but I'm trying to keep it below 1200 so I may be like rittenhouse-adjacent in the no-man's land between neighborhoods

Northern liberties or south philly are cheap and nice as long as you are okay with taking the train. I would live as close as possible to the stations just for ease of life.

when do we apply for PLUS loans? The application is open on the gov student loans site, should I go ahead and do it now?

Deadline is June 1st per the financial aid counseling thing: https://planningprod.overturecorp.com/g ... on/usr/law

I believe I read somewhere that that didn't recommending starting before May 1, so in the next few weeks I'm planning on diving in

Ah, thanks! I guess I'll use my free time this week to begin the terrifying process of amassing debt

are you guys going grad plus or private?

How long before orientation are you guys planning to move to Philly? I'm thinking about moving around August 15th, so I can get acquainted with Philly.

grad plus this year, probably private if after 1L grades I have more confidence in jobs plans, etc

+1 for 8/15 if I can. Otherwise lease starting 8/1 and move somewhere around 8/15-8/20
