People who have been admitted and are definitely attending or pretty likely to attend, what are your plans for housing? I ask just because I'm probably going to try to find an off-campus apartment near the law school, but it seems that lots of people I talk to who are attending or probably attending this fall want on-campus housing. Makes me think I'm missing something...
I mean, I understand the convenience factor. But beyond that, I don't see any pluses to on-campus housing.
I guess convenience is a pretty big plus, though.

I got an email from one of the directors of admission pretty much asking me what ive been up to since grad and if im still interested in BU. I sent a LOCI back and they said that they've added it to my file but that's about it. Then the same day they sent out the mass email saying they're gonna accept off the WL but im just wondering if anyone got anything bc it doesn't seem like it

18:06

ChiefComplexHammerHead

I’m just surprised that no one really has posted about getting off their waitlist
ChiefComplexHammerHead
15:08
That’s what I’m confused about too? If they’re gonna be admitting off the WL or have been admitting, I feel like we would’ve heard something but it’s been crickets
ChiefComplexHammerHead
15:09
I tried calling their office but they closed 5 mins before I called 😂
hungrycrocodile
16:28
Damn
hungrycrocodile
16:28
I totally agree but we’ll see. They could just do it next week
hungrycrocodile
16:29
You riding out any other waitlists
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:44
I’m on 11 WL’s 😂😂 anything from UF to Vandy/WashU
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:44
I’m riding out for UF for sure, I think Vandy is full
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:44
Wbu? Are u waiting on any WL’s or have you deposited anywhere else?
ChiefComplexHammerHead
16:45
Yeah they’ll probs do it early next week, there definitely wasn’t much movement this week
