. I already have my rabies pre-exposure shots too , so I am just about set with that stuff too .
I guess my acceptance fee will have to wait until Tuesday. Super excited to have just about everything squared away though
, but their weight limit was 45 pounds so your dog is still too big. . I prefer to be over prepared and know I have it taken care of . Actually got myself a big floor mat today too for my new place. Am I a little excited, yes ..
Excited for you too Squirrels! It doesn't seem like it took you long to receive your attendance packet
Oh, and I was talking with a Dental student friend and he said that Stadium View and other places in the vicinity of campus are party-town/undergrad-ville. (He also called that Target the "hot-girl Target" if that tells you anything.) I'm looking at places in the Governor's Square/Upper Arlington areas. My problem will be my 70lb lab mix who is scared of everything.
squirrelsrule she lives about 5 miles from the park. normally it takes her about 20-25 min on the highway, but she makes sure to leave before or after rush hour. I know there have been a few times she got caught in traffic for a long time though and I've had many classmates late to class due to accidents. you just need to be able to maneuver your schedule around rush hour. really that's for everywhere though, I live in Grandview Heights ~3 miles from the campus and its taken me 25 minutes to get home. Bunny Girl, it may not be that bad, people do tend to talk more about the negative than the positive. I know a lot of vet students live in Worthington, UA, and other areas that take the highway so it works, I just wanted to give you guys a little heads up so you aren't surprised. Oh and I avoid High St like its the plague, mainly because the closer you get the campus the more likely you are to hit a pedestrian. They like to dart out in front of your car, not too bright.
Bunny Girl it is a little crazy how poorly everyone drives with the little bit of snow we get. I try to tell myself its out of state students so I'm more patient with them.
). The drivers seemed equally crazy, pulling right out in front of us!
..Do you know how long it would take to get out to Water's Edge Apartments.

. It is posted on the facebook group, but if anyone here doesn't facebook and is interested in attending, PM me for details. Super excited to meet some of my future classmates tomorrow .) I'm a third year at OSU and wanted to chime in on the apartment discussion. I live alone in a 2 bedroom apartment in a safe area (Upper Arlington, Dierker Rd) with my cat and 70 pound dog. My rent with 2 pets is $550/month. There are definitely some bully breeds that live in the complex, so I don't think they're too picky about that. I'm 10-15 minutes from campus and am pretty happy about the location. I've heard maintenance is kind of hit or miss, but management has never given me an issue. Lots of off street parking. It is quiet too. Anything on Dierker, Governours Square, Fox and Hound, Runaway Bay, Quarry, Weybridge, Stadium View, Harvard Square are all places that I've seen and I like, but I didn't like Olentangy Commons (IMO rip you off for the price, loud) and I really didn't like Heritage (parking sucks, loud, apartments are $$ and teeny.) I also stayed away from campus and anything near Riverview Drive which is off of Olentangy... places are cheap, but dark and dumpy in my experience. Good luck in your search.
). I got mine at the health department, but they were expensive. My insurance wouldn't cover it and I had pretty good insurance at the time. I wasn't planning to go to vet school at the time, though, so maybe that would have made it so it was covered. Here is what the 1st year survival guide (which also has the info. about joining CVM chat thing we talked about at lunch) says about the rabies vaccinations:
, not somewhere I wanna live. So, I'm thinking of staying at The Heritage. Apartment ratings is only 11% recommended, but nothing because of violence or drugs and I liked what I saw when I went there and it's recommended by vet students, so I think I'm gonna go with it. Anyone else staying in The Heritage or know if it's nice or not?
. Just glad I found out and decided before signing the lease. I think I'll stick with the recommended by vet students list . Might pay a little more, but at least I shouldn't get shot taking my dog out to go to the bathroom! Sorry for recommending an apartment in a bad part of town to you.
. So excited! I already have my apartment assignment . I'm gonna be staying in a studio (they have 350 square foot studios (I know tiny, but if you're living alone and plan to spend much of your time studying, it's really not bad) for just $699 a month and that includes gas, electric, and trash in rent, you just have to pay $20 for water and $25 for a pet if you're bringing a pet) on the third floor . Also included in rent (for all apartments in Heritage) is high speed internet and cable.
