I have not done the financial aid statement

@NakedBrothersBandCrazyCar: Ever, yes. Likely, no. Better shot at Duke than at Chicago if you can get above the LSAT median.

GreenJumbledScorpion

14:20

because I still need an HLS email

jb2028

14:21

@GreenJumbledScorpion: You don't need an HLS email to fill out aid forms, but they might set you up with that at the same time for simplicity

Couldn't you get a job over the summer to help you pay for rent before you get COL loans on the first day of classes or thereabouts?

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:21

This is what I'm doing.

GreenJumbledScorpion

14:21

I have about 16K saved up

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:22

Isn't that plenty of money?

GreenJumbledScorpion

14:22

Isn't rent like 2-3K

jb2028

14:22

@GreenJumbledScorpion: Oh that's fine, you will not have a problem covering first + a deposit

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:22

Are you talking about rent in Cambridge or thereabouts?

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:22

I mean, plenty of places are under 2k.

jb2028

14:22

Just plan on having roommates (this is assuming you're comfortable borrowing for anything aid does not cover)

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:22

I've lived in the area for a while, albeit not in the past few years

jb2028

14:23

< $2K per person is very doable with roommates, a bit over $2K is probably doable with a studio

GreenJumbledScorpion

14:24

I am okay with apartment mates. I just prefer my own room and bathroom.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:24

I guess I'm still not understanding GreenJumbledScorpion. Even if you couldn't find a place for less than 2k, why is that a problem? Is it that the COL loans Harvard would give you wouldn't cover a place for 2k over 9 months?

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:24

Or is it rather that you just want to save as much of the 16k you have as possible?

GreenJumbledScorpion

14:24

Yeah.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:24

I see.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:24

Oh wait, which of those? The first or second.

GreenJumbledScorpion

14:25

I am trying to save as much as of the 16k as possible

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:25

I see, I see.

GreenJumbledScorpion

14:25

3k is invested and I do not want to pull that out tbh

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:26

Yeah, I'm assuming I'm going to live with roommates. I'm (likely) going to BU, btw, so in a similar area.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:26

I've done that before and haven't had a problem with it.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:27

I'd just like to live in a place that is within a 30 minute walking distance to BU Law (and that's the absolute max). I'm also going to bring my bike and probably use that a lot. And the T is totally acceptable.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:28

Probably closer to 25 max.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:29

But if you want a private bath, that may make finding a place a bit harder---not much harder but a bit.

BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

14:29

A private bath is not something I need.
