Yet another Coloradan dropping by to suggest to go to U of I even if pulled off the waitlist, listen to bats. I got accepted IS to CSU. I'm going OSS to Washington. Saving 60K plus interest by the time it's all said and done.
The only people I know who had done it came as OOS students, then had both their own and their SO's residency changed to IL, then they married their SO (or came married). I believe SO has to have a job in the state. With that being said, the people who have tried have been successful, so I don't know that it's all that hard. I think it's the only way to change your tuition status.Illinois is VERY difficult to get IS tuition. Not a current student but I've lived here my whole life. You may not have it granted until your spouse has worked in Illinois for a year (the marriage status definitely helps most students don't ever get IS status). In short the sooner he can move to Illinois and start working the better your chances. Some even have their marriages in their desired state (legally they don't care where your ceremony is) to better their chances of IS. If current students want to chime in please do! @batsenecal, @pinkpuppy9 But my top recommendation would be calling and/or emailing the residency office. Good luck and congrats on acceptance
You're telling me
plus when I went to their mixer they were like yes we are expensive and we acknowledge that yet in the same talk they don't seem imo to be trying to do very much about it. They're like yeah we're trying to get more scholarship money but that was it (a great solution if everyone gets =scholarship but we all know that's pry not the case) . No -we are talking to legislature, no mention of the state just starting a repayment plan etc.Thanks so much for the info! Having a specific office to contact with my questions will help save me time moving forward.
No I didn't, but I'm okay with that lol.
I'm by myself in Fairlawn Village in Urbana. I have 5 animals in a two bedroom and I'm pretty comfortable. The yards aren't fenced, but they're really pet friendly. 5 minute drive to school and near downtown urbana.
Can I ask why you didn't like the Place? (that's one of the complexes I was considering...)
I lived there first year and for me, it was loud. There were some grad students there, but I think the majority of the population is undergrads. It wasn't the cleanest, the main office wasn't great about dealing with issues, etc. Typical crappy college apartment complex. It's convenient since it's furnished, on the cheaper side if you have roommates, etc. Also pretty close to school, but it's also kitty corner from a field where they dump pig manure.
Most apartments (in general, not even just here) have a two pet limit. Your dog is small so you may be able to sweet talk some rental companies, but probably not The Place or The Village.
If you clean up after your animals, your dog doesn't bark nonstop, etc, no one is going to tip off your landlord regarding the pet situation.

Most of the unfurnished studios/1 beds around here are well under $1000/month so I think you'll just need to do some Googling. I current pay just under $800 for a two bedroom at Fairlawn Village (before they tack on internet and pet fees).
COL is pretty cheap here imo! You may also find some small houses for $1000 or less too, but you'd probably end up in a not so nice neighborhood or really far from campus. I recommend people looking in Urbana don't go past Philo or don't go directly north of campus in Champaign. West Champaign is fine.
That made me a happy camper.
Everything but gas/electric, water, and internet is included. Wifi is built into the apartment, but you still pay $35/month for it on top of the base rent. Pet rent is $30/each/month.I was looking at their website and they look really nice! Are any amenities included? Or do you pay additionally for heating/water/etc. I LOVE that they are pet friendly and have NO restrictions!
The burnout was real this morning.
Things will feel a little better next year when exams start at 9 instead of 1. I hated waking up and realizing I still had like 4-5 more hours until I started the exam.
I think there is a way you can private message me.
You should be up to date on all of the standard immunizations anyways. I remember having to send my vax records in somewhere prior to matriculating.
Me too
Me too
interested!!Anyone who needs a place to live next year, my roommate and I are looking for one more person! We would love to have a first year to mentor through vet school
You’ll definitely be able to see when they cash the check, if nothing else.
It's not updated yet because it isn't even past this year's acceptance deadline, but: http://vetmed.illinois.edu/education/doctor-veterinary-medicine-degree/admitted-student-info/ lots of info on the website as usual. The info they require from you shouldn't change, so you can start getting an idea of what they need from you.So I'm kind of curious/worried as well as to when they receive everything. I sent my acceptance form and check via ups and made it so they had to sign for it and they got it, however I had to send transcripts through the 2 schools I attended companies. Does the school send you and email or an information packet after a certain point to give you like book lists, class log ins, what you need and don't need, big sib form, etc? I just want to prepare enough in advanced that I'm not rushing for things.
If anything, you can start figuring out where/when to get your rabies series. Some people have a really hard time getting it at home. The campus health center can do it once you get to campus, but that's just another thing on your plate when you're already going to be thoroughly overwhelmed during your first few weeks of school!
Dr foreman said that if they know they won’t fill the class based on how many have declined before the deadline, they may start calling people before the deadline.
I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. @batsenecal may know? For some reason, $800 is coming to mind but don't quote me on that. You could probably call McKinley and ask.
