Im looking for a 3 BR house....If one comes across you.
Ok, thanks. I think 2 miles is short biking distance, but I'm also used to Fayetteville where two miles might mean up and down two huge hills, haha. I'm currently attempting to plan a weekend or Friday/Saturday apartment/condo/rental house/duplex browsing blitz sometime in May, so I'll let you know when I'm going to be down there. If you're available, any insight would be appreciated. I really don't have time to worry about it yet since I'm all tied up with my Komen obligations until the end of the month- but it'll definitely be sometime in May.I just found out yesterday that there's a decent chance both of my roommates are going to be moving out. One is almost certainly leaving for the Fayetteville campus, and one might be moving in with another friend for some reason or another. I'll keep you posted. Hopefully 2 miles from campus qualifies as "short biking distance."
Has anybody received a fin. aid packet yet?
I emailed and they said the scholarship committee met yesterday and will continue to meet throughout the summer. They said they send out letters immediately. Mine had already been decided, so she let me know what I got!
Oh god. I mean.. .congratulations! Now I have to get ahold of them and get it over with.I emailed and they said the scholarship committee met yesterday and will continue to meet throughout the summer.

In other news, I'm headed to Little Rock this Friday and Saturday to begin the search for a place to live. Hopefully I'll find something reasonably appealing that I can afford.
Hey all, my roommate and I (both first year med students) are looking for a third roommate. We'll be living on N Cedar Street in a fully renovated 3 bed 2 bath house that's like new. Rent is $400 a month plus $100-125 a month or so in utilities/cable. It's less than a block from Markham and a 5 minute walk to the ED II building. If you're interested, want to see pictures of the place, or have questions, message me or give me a call at 479-236-9549

We could have been neighbors, this one is 115 N. Cedar . Yeah, I'm excited about the location- turns out I saw the sign and called the day he put the "for rent" sign out in the yard, which just happened to be the day I was down in Little Rock apartment hunting. Stroke of luck. At any rate, if you all hear of another first-year looking for a place to live near campus, feel free to give them my info and I'll talk to them and see if we wouldn't drive each other insane.My friends and I wanted the 119 N Cedar one but it sold!! but we think we found another good one close to campus. Yours is great location.
Congrats! Which state? Also, come join us on the UAMS CoM Class of 2014 facebook group, lots of "get to know each other" discussions on there.Just got my acceptance packet yesterday!! Im an OS applicant that was put on the waitlist after the interview. Goodluck to the rest of the waitlisters!
Here ya go: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=602842Milkman might have some advice about that booklist.
Officially withdrew last week. Hopefully the spot goes to one of you guys. Good luck next year and congrats to everyone!
There are several apartment complexes along Kavanaugh that are maybe a 10+ minute walk from school. One of my good friends lives there, and her place is really nice. I don't know any names, though, unfortunately.Can anyone tell me what are the two closest apartment complexes to our classrooms?
That's freaking crazy. There were always tons of empty rooms around when I was there. Like, I think there were never fewer than 3 open (of 16) on my side of my floor alone. I wonder if it's because of the class expansion?Also, FYI I just called Student Activities and Housing and was informed that all dorm applications have at least a 1 yr waiting list, and that the 1bd suite has a 2 yr waiting list.

Just a reminder: join your class's Facebook group if you haven't already. There's lots of housing and book sale kind of stuff going on there among many other things. Speaking of books, someone posted this Amazon UAMS book review list thingy in one of the group's discussion threads. As you've probably seen in said thread, I agree with pretty much everything he says. Do remember that buying multiple texts for one subject isn't very productive, however.
Jennie- I had a hard time finding apartment complexes within close walking distance that were relatively nice. I ended up getting lucky and grabbing a house right off Cedar, but it seems like most of the complexes near UAMS are small, private run operations and don't advertise near as heavily and I was expecting. I had reasonably good luck finding houses on hotpads.com and craigslist, but I didn't find any walkable apartments I was very excited about. Part of this is probably because I've gotten spoiled by my current place and didn't want to downgrade, so you may have better luck than I did.Hey Milkman,
Thanks for your reply. I read the FB postings but no specific complexes are listed. I'm surprised that I can't find any close apt complexes advertising via google search... do you know if many of these complexes have websites or the best way to search for housing remotely?
I'll be flying into LR from California July 28... do you think it'll be too late to find nice housing nearby then?
Thanks again,
Jennie
