<p>I know, I know. I’m just trying to help you guys put this all in perspective.</p>

<p>I mean, you can feel free to raise your own blood pressure all you want (ain’t my cardiovascular system! ;)), but seriously…there are more important things to worry about. You can’t do anything for the next week, so why worry about that which you can’t control? Go worry about what little you can control.</p>

<p>Housing is very very easy to take care of once you get admitted somewhere. With craigslist, finding housing is almost sinfully easy these days.</p>

<p>i’m gonna go workout and then go to BJ’s and watch the warriors game</p>

5743

<p>for ucla…you can just live in a ghetto-ish area and commute 20 minutes no problem.</p>

5744

<p>Im gonna go get married, well ttyl</p>

5745

<p>verdet, </p>

<p>I’m worried about the same thing as well. So, let us talk about it then shall we?</p>

<p>When is the right time to search for an off-campus house and roomates?</p>

5746

<p>yeah…im probably gonna do what mylifeisover23 is gonna do.</p>

<p>workout, and then some personal stuff</p>

5747

<p>oh i knew someone was gonna say something about that…hahah</p>

<p>BJ’s is this pizza / brewery restaurant</p>

5748

<p>i am gonna go finish up my online classes… :slight_smile: then this week… i am gonna get ready for my trip to china for 3 weeks… haha … i need to go get those tourist guide books…</p>

<p>EDIT: Mylifeisover… get BJ’s Sampler drinks… :slight_smile: 7 shots hahaha</p>

<p>Actually, I don’t even think the school shapes your life. Personally, I’ve had some pretty good experiences, and they had nothing to do with school: I was able to have amazing opportunities because my own talents (like being able to schmooz and network). </p>

<p>I also know lots of great people that have went to universities we would think are subpar, and they’ve done lots of great things and made tons of money. And where you go for grad school isn’t that important either… I’m observing my brother-in-law apply to schools for his MBA… he graduated from IIT in India for his BS degree (which is the harvard/ Stanford/ Oxford of India), and even though he has such a prestigious degree, the biggest factor in picking a grad school is the cost of attendance. </p>

<p>Your degree from Cal or UCLA does not guarantee you anything. It’s all about personal drive and initiative that’s going to get you somewhere.</p>

<p>mylifeisover23, BJ stands for Blooow jaab?</p>

<p>you going alone?</p>

5751

<p>Hey SB</p>

<p>I live in So Cal.</p>

<p>You wanna inform me where ghetto-ish around UCLA is that is only 20 minutes away. 20 minutes away from Westwood is Santa Monica on a good day. Maybe Brentwood, the Palisades? Not really ghetto. </p>

<p>I went from Canters Deli to UCLA yesterday and the traffic was soo bad it took me 50 minutes. </p>

<p>Anyone out of town that plans on going to UCLA, I highly recommend the DORMS. Unless your parents are rich then you will want to live in an apartment in Westwood.</p>

<p>Diamon-- IIT is seriously cool… My understanding is if you get in, the school is free, and it is so hard to get into, your featured in the newspaper upon acceptance.</p>

5752

<p>i would recommend mar vista district, bohemian non-beach parts of venice, palms district, and the older ugly parts of culver city.</p>

<p>that way, you avoid the freeways and just take sepulveda up to ucla. </p>

<p>check the prices on craigslist.</p>

5753

<p>verdet, thats what I’m going to do when I go to UCLA (Dorms). Why don’t you do the same?</p>

5754

<p>Actually those are great recomendations but not the Culver City part. Sepulveda in the morning can be just as bad as the 10 or the 405. Frankly, no matter what driving there is bad…But those are very good recomendations for people who are looking for “cheaper” offsite housing that is somewhat close.</p>

<p>I will move to West Hollywood with some friends.</p>

<p><em>Of course, God willing I get in and not into Stanford</em></p>

5755

<p>if i go to ucla (which i wont)</p>

<p>im gonna live in west hollywood. wooooo hoooooo!!!</p>

<p>ive done the dorm thing once, i dont need to do it again.</p>

5756

<p>Dorms for transfers? That doesn’t sound like fun living with a bunch of freshman!</p>

5757

<p>in west hollywood, i can be a loose maneater</p>

<p>*and you cant moderate the word loose or maneater, since theyre both nelly furtado songs, and theyre both rated g</p>

5758

<p>yeah, it’s crazy how difficult it is to get into IIT…it is low-cost, but the preparation for IIT isn’t… my bro had to hire full time tutors and stuff. And the newspaper thing is true.</p>

5759

<p>I thought IIT was reserved for citizens of India only, not true?</p>

<p>kevintech:</p>

<p>Do you really think living off-campus is more fun? I mean how? Isn’t it better to live with 300 people in a floor where possibilities are endless or a deserted house with 3 people?</p>
