Don't worry... I didn't care too much for Clarendon College either
Definitely look on washingtondc.craigslist.org. because everything is close and pretty accessible by metro you don't *have* to live right next to the school. They do have the Towers...but I'm biased. My sister lived there in UG, so I'm not a big fan. And these days there are soooo many housing options you can probably find something nicer. I would also call their student affairs department to see if there is a med/law/grad school listserv and see about getting on the listservs of other schools. As people graduate and leave DC or know they are leaving you can find a lot of places. Also go to washingtoncitypaper.com, ads are posted there as well. You might want to do a cursory look now, some larger managed buildings might have a waiting list. If you have an idea of areas you are interested in I can do my best to tell you about them.
Closest to HU are:
Petworth -->residential, colonial/federal style row homes and in the immediate are of HU, not as many apt buildings,
Columbia Heights--> mix of federal and Victorian row homes, residential, but with a lot of development going on like turning 3-4 story homes into 1 floor condos, new shopping center in the area w/Ruby Tuesdays, a movie theater, cultural mix of hispanic, black and white
Rhode Island Ave/Logan Circle--> very expensive on Logan, more Victorian homes than federal, and there are apartment buildings
U street corridor--> hip urban area, jazz clubs bars, lots of places to eat "ethnic" food, Greek, Ethiopian, etc, tons of apt development, mainly federal homes
Shaw--> convention center area, mix of apartments and row homes
Ledroit Park/Eckington/Bloomingdale--> very close to Washington Hospital Center/Children's National, mainly Victorian homes, some new condos, probably mainly basement apartment rentals
All of these places are in NW DC. Some also live in Silver Spring (MD) and 16th Street Heights (NW DC). A lot depends on your commute. Driving I live about 10 mins from GWU and 15 from HU with out traffic....w/ up to 20-25 to GWU and 30 mins to HU, and that's not including time to look for parking. There is a metro nearby so if you live near one and prefer the metro that's a good option. Inside of the DC limits is wayyy more expensive than parts of MD and VA, so those are other considerations. You might also try looking for previous HU class threads and see where people live, some chose roommates. If you prefer library studying you may want to live closer to the yard/campus.
Hey Guys,
do you think I should call about my package. I was accepted Feb 26 and so it havs been like 2.5 weeks and I have not received anything.
How long did it take for you package to arrive.
KinKs
are they still interviewing this week? im scared to mrs clark and bother her..
that kinda makes me happy...i think i should get squeezed in. i interviewed way early and got wait listed so i must be pretty high up on the list considering when i interviewed. i have my fingers crossed.
Hello-how r u?whats the facebook name for 2012 again please? thank u
I hope this is not a silly question but do you guys know if we have to collect teeth? I haven't received a welcome packet yet or anything of the sort but I just want to get a head start if we do.
At the interview we were told that there is no parking on campus for 1st years and that you can really rack up the parking tickets parking on the street (not worth the money or the headache). They said public transportation is the way to go.
No, you dont need to collect teeth b/c you wont take Endo until second year
I also hereby present to you th official count down clock:

Hey guys/gals.
I'm wondering when everyone is going to go to DC to look for housing. How are you guys going about looking? I'm from the westcoast so my plan is to go up only once and find something. But I'm a bit worried that I'll go about it the wrong way and miss the boat. What sounds reasonable? Please share your strategies.
That's the thing: I'm not really sure how much time to spend out in DC looking for a place. I'd ideally like to spend only a day or two, but I'm thinking this might be unrealistic. I'm limited by income so that is why I was asking you guys what you were planning to do. I'm assuming most students are limited by income etc. Also, is it to late to apply to live in the towers?
in the case that one plans to live at the towers - isn't a phone call sufficient?
Hey guys do any of you know what is going on on Mondays of our first year. It just says examinations for the whole day, the whole year. Just wondering if any of you know anything.
Oh and by the way my wife and I are moving to DC June 25th, hopefully we will be able to find a descent place to live and enjoy DC till school starts.
