<p>I can tell you this…the friendliness and helpfulness at Bama is nearly unheard of on the other campuses we’ve been to. With sons’ research opps at other unvs and this grad school move in situation, it makes us realize even more how “together” Bama is about so many things. </p>
<p>Bama would never have told anyone that they were being moved to a more expensive apt at the student’s expense!!!..Bama would have eaten the extra expense if it was their decision to move the student. And, Bama certainly wouldn’t have expected the student to move again a month later! I really “politely” reamed them for that in the letter…using correct legalese. Son officially sent the letter, but we (the parents) provided the strong and legal wordings. Honestly, this other school was obviously trying to take advantage of of kid who wouldn’t know any better or know that his contract demanded that they provide a 2BR/2BA for $730/month…PERIOD! And, they’d better cough one up pronto!!!</p>
<p>Son met his new apt-mate yesterday. A very nice young man from Cornell who will be getting his PhD in Physics. Very friendly and helpful. </p>
<p>We’ll be looking for some living room furniture today. The apt is supposed to be furnished (and should be at that price!! $1460 for the 2 kids!), but only is furnished in the bedrooms. So, off to find a couch and dinette set. Ugh!</p>
<p>Did I tell you that this trip is costing a fortune? </p>
<p>:sigh:</p>
