twosoakers I love you!!!! It didn't work for me, but I love you anyway!!!! Thanks so much!
guys....i think there's a way you might be able to find out right now (emphasize MIGHT). they've assigned those of us who've been accepted email accounts at mail.westernu.edu. if you go there, you can type in your first initial and last name: john smith = jsmith. your password will be the last two digits of the year of your birth and the last four digits of your sosh: ex. 782304. if you can log in with that information, you're definitely in. if you can't, it just might be that your log in information is different. thought this might help...

we were told this, too, during my interview. we were also told accreditation was delayed until 2008, but we weren't given a reason.
Now that I got into Western....next problem.....Does anybody that is looking into living at the Helix want a roomate. I am male....don't party and pretty much keep to myself. I am very relaxed, and don't get angry at much. Ok well just let me know if anyone is interested!
Where do you recommend living, Wolf? Apt complex? Private owner?
ouch. I'm in Indiana at Purdue, where it's dirt cheap to live, but I start Western in August and need to find a place to live. I hope they send us the roomate search materials, soon. I liked that the Helix had free internet and free cable (well, not really free, but covered). When I called today, though, they claimed to have a long waiting list, but seemed anxious to take my app. I haven't sent one in yet. I haven't lived with anyone but my boyfriend for years, so living with other people is going to be interesting. I really want to bring 3 of my cats with me, too. If you have any more advice, I'd be glad to hear it.
All I can say is Wow!!!the most dangerous thing that happened appeared to be the dean's husband jaywalking and getting hit by a car--hence, now students are readily cited for jaywalking. or so our guide told us.
hey frisky, i didn't think it was that bad, either. rather pastel, actually, but when i went to the newspaper, all that is reported on is shootings and the like:

but still, i've lived in worse places where gang shootings happened frequently. i'd rather live in pomona to be close to everyone--my groups and the like, for at least the first year. i don't think western has 'lost' anyone living in pomona yet

He did not jaywalk. There used to not be a traffic light at that intersection, he was walking in the crosswalk (there were no cars when he started crossing) and a truck went speeding through and hit him. It was a very disturbing thing to watch, and I am glad he is okay. The school finally listened to our pleads for a light there after that
good to know.
hopefully, the truck stopped. in indiana, they don't.
chris, where do you recommend living in pomona?
I'm actually only waitlisted ( ), but I've heard from a few people (students and applicants from southern Cal) that Pomona is sketchy and that you do not want to live there, so when you mention living 5 minutes away, is there someplace that's not as sketchy (assuming they are correct)?
Also, do you ever have problems with parking, etc, since you drive?
Also, how sketchy is Pomona, really? (I'm a bit naive about that sort of stuff, but when I was there I didn't really think it was that bad.)
Thanks!
I have heard of alot of problems, shootings, and robbery, everything you would get with big cities....
Thanks! Do mean that you've heard of them happening in Pomona?
