First off, congratulations! While it can be a tough slug, the next three years of your life are also going to be some of your most memorable - and NU is a fantastic place to be.

Now shamelessly, for those who haven't found an apartment yet, I'm here to plug my own. It's a 2-3 bedroom/2 bath unit (my two other roommates and I have been living in it as a 3 bedroom for the past two years) located at 860 N Dewitt Pl. It's a 5-minute walk from school, has a coffee shop on the first floor, and is fully renovated with an in-unit washer/dryer. It also has a doorman 7 days a week (perfect for when those Amazon packages come during class) as well as a rooftop deck with a beautiful view, a great common area, and a gym. It's nearly 1600 SqF and 3945$ a month (with the first month only being 3800$).

Available for move in at the start of August. It's a great spot and an incredible value for the location to boot. I've attached a craigslist link that has some pictures and a more comprehensive list of amenities. If anyone is interested, feel free to email me at n-brown2017@nlaw.northwestern.edu.

Good luck all!

Do Microsoft computers still do that thing where they update with no warning? I had a friend lose a few minutes on an exam from that so be wary of that.

Around the 15th! So excited!

MTW:
8:45-9:40
(one of) 9:50-10:45, 10:55-11:50
(one of) 1:30-2:25, 2:35-3:30

ThF:
10:25-11:50
1:30-2:55

So whoever told me at ASW that everyone would have 9a classes MTW was right!

So we do not have to do anything for class registration?

not first term at least in terms of picking classes or anything like that. I could have sworn I was told there was some questionnaire they'd send around to balance classes (in a variety of ways) but that could have been a different school!

At some point in the next few weeks they will just give us our schedule (section breakdown here). The four sections will follow the four schedules I posted here.

We do get to pick two electives Spring term - so we'll have Conlaw, the other Property/Torts that we didn't do first term, whatever the legal writing class is called, and our two electives.
