I'm JD/MHA. I filled out the application over break, and filed it the week before classes start. Big warning: if you're considering a degree with the SPH, they are a PAIN to deal with. They took so long to give me an answer on everything, I had to call/email to remind them.
I'm from St. Louis. I live in the suburbs b/c my boyfriend bought a house down here before we met.
They're rebuilding Highway 40, and the eastern half will be closed starting January, which will make getting around a lot tougher for much of the SLU community. Keep that in mind when you're deciding where to live.
