Bears to Be... Waco Here We Come

[moynkr]

I've got to work.  Wish I could though. I didn't go to a prospective/admitted student day when I visited and I'd kind of like the chance to visit with other future students.

I'll be at Iron Cactus tonight though.  Do you think they're feeding us?

I would think there will be something to munch on - hopefully - since its at 6 and should last for bit...

I attended the Houston get-together, and the dinner was very nice! There were about 10 of us: four entering students, 3 current students, and 2 lawyers, and others. Current students came to Houston for internships and were very informative about Baylor School life, (some)professors, and their respective internship. They assured me that the upper level students will definitely help the entering class, from sharing outlines to answering any questions we had. They also were very proud of the cohesiveness of the student body. All in all, the dinner was very layed back.

I did visit Waco again yesterday, and I'm leaning towards River Crest. The price is affortable, and... it's just so close to the campus! I was also looking at The Centre but was discouraged by all the fees - plus the lady told me that all the freshmen are moving in from the droms in August... that can't be good.

Don't live in the Centre!!  It'll be all sophomores and it's not very well built.

The Austin get together was nice.  I didn't mingle much, but I met a few people.  I thought the current student was a little negative.  I kind of wanted to be like, "I get it already, it's hard.  Thanks."

Thanks, Ellie ^^
The info is very appreciated.

By the way, how was the turnout of the Austin get-together?

[ellie]

I think there were about 12 entering students, one graduate, a current student, and Heather.

so, to get us off the 2nd page: did everyone else get an XL t-shirt or is Baylor trying to tell me something?

[ellie]

I got a large, but I'm a girl.  If it makes you feel better the guy at our table got an XXL.

[c00lbeans]

<laugh> yeah I got an X-large t-shirt as well. I think it'll fit my dad.

By the way, when is everyone moving to Waco?

Oh, and I'm not sure if anyone is going to RiverCrest apt. (or currently lives there), but how does the summer-clause work? I saw it on Baylor website apt listing section and also heard it from someone who's at Baylor that River Crest offers a deal during summer  (like 100 boucks cheaper in rent). I called and asked, but the person I talked to gave me a very confusing answer - it's only offered to people who are living there during summer... I mean... isn't that everyone since they only let you sign a 12 months lease contract? 

oh yeah, if you planning on living there and have not signed the lease yet, you can get $250 Best Buy gift certificate. See here for details - http://seehowsamlives.com/

I'm moving at the end of June.

And that website is the goofiest website I've ever seen.  Are they trying to rent to kindegartners?

I am moving up Aug. 2
