Depends on the previous tenant... In mine they aren't leaving until the 31st so no dice for me.jessmeesh wrote:How possible is it to negotiate your lease to start earlier than September 1st?
I wanted to come in early August to have some time to settle in and adjust, but I'm realizing that most leases seems to start on 9/1.

If the previous tenants are leaving before 9/1 you guys can work something out for you to move in earlier.jessmeesh wrote:How possible is it to negotiate your lease to start earlier than September 1st?

PROTIPS FOR EVERYONE (lived in the area for a while, so I've been through the impending shitshow before):
1) If you're getting furniture from Ikea ORDER IT SOON(ish) or else there won't be any delivery slots available for that weekend
2) Secure movers ASAP. If you're getting a Uhaul or something, make sure whoever is driving is fond of insane traffic on crowded, narrow streets, and knows how to parallel park like a pro
3) The vast majority of apartments around BU (esp in the Allston/Brighton area) don't have elevators (even the ones that are 4-5 stories) and the stairwells are VERY narrow. Keep that in mind when you make moving plans.

Re: Boston University Class of 2020 [ANOTHER New Poll!]
Hey guys! Been lurking on this board for a couple of weeks now, but it's slow at work so I figured now was the time to check in! BU is most likely where I'll end up (I've deposited but I'm just holding out for another scholarship increase so I can feel better about turning down a full ride elsewhere).
Anyways I've lived in Allston for the last three years, went to undergrad in Boston, and have worked in public service/law here, so if anyone has any questions feel free to let me know!

Had a nice conversation with this guy over the phone (got 20+ mins pretty easily) and now have a connection as to where to watch KSU football games this fall. The important stuff, right?Dodocogon wrote:Yeah, I was definitely being a bit facetious there - one of those things that are much easier said than done. I find the worst is starting the interaction and once it's going I'm quite comfortable. But cold-calling (or emailing, rather) people is rough.

I need to get better at having theses types of awkward networking conversations instead of shying away from them.

We should also get a TLS BU meet up going once all you fine people are in town. Maybe one of the orientation days or something.

I'm going to be in Boston (for the first time) tomorrow. I'm doing a self-guided tour of the law school. Anyone have any suggestions of where I should go/see/eat/etc? I have all of tomorrow but trying to limit my spending.

There are tons of other things to do/see/eat but these would be some fun options that are free or cheap -jessmeesh wrote:I'm going to be in Boston (for the first time) tomorrow.

Has anyone tried to submit their immunization form yet? It's not letting me log into the patient portal. It might just be too early...I'm defintely trying to just get everything done early so I don't have to worry about it all summer. BU Doesn't always seem to like how early I'm doing stuff haha

I got mine last week. I went to the second ASD. But I got the full $300. Did you reserve a stipend? They didn't send a confirmation that they got my email so I actually sent them a follow up to confirm they got my receipt.Dodocogon wrote:Got mine the beginning of this week.

Re: Boston University Class of 2020 [ANOTHER New Poll!]
Okay I have to ask: is anyone else still waiting to hear back re scholarship negotiations?
I received a small increase right before the deposit deadline, submitted another request, and was told they would consider my additional request as their next deposit deadline approaches. I know I still have a couple weeks until the June 1st deposit, but I am just curious if there is anyone else here also waiting or has heard back (yes or no) on their second round of scholarship negotiations.

Hey folks!
I just joined this thread, but was accepted to BU back in April. Has anyone had any luck getting more scholarship? If so, did you just sent a short email to Cheryl Constantine or did you send in an elaborate letter?

There's tons of info all around TLS (and the BU applicants thread) about how to negotiate so it might be helpful to look around. I sent a short email to the main bu financial aid email address, though.orangejuice23 wrote:Hey folks!

I sent a 3 paragraph letter going into my situation; you can address it to Cheryl and send it to the finaid@bu.edu email - that's what they asked for when I called in.orangejuice23 wrote:Hey folks!
