Thought I start a class thread since the previous one created is pretty dead and not in this specific forum.

So if you are going to WVSOM Class of 2014 make a comment. We can talk about anything from rooming, to books, to life, sports, medical school anticipations, and food.

Welcome to all WVSOM students and see you all in fall.

Hi! I'm so excited to start in the fall! I went to Lewisburg last weekend and found a place to live, so that is checked off the list 🙂

I'm glad you started this thread, hopefully other people participate too!

We've really just confined most of our conversations to facebook. There's some good stuff on the WVSOM 2014 group page. Here's a link and congrats!

Oh, I joined the facebook group as soon as I got my acceptance, but it's fun to have more than one place to talk, seems like you can get a variety of topics that way.

Yeah facebook is not an option for me at the moment lol. But I will join in soon, Lynn have you found a cheap place to live? I will turn in my deposit soon and then the house listing should open for me.

Yeah, for the most part, the prices are pretty good. I found a 3 bedroom decently sized house about 4 blocks from the school for $650/mo. It going to be me and my husband, and we don't really need 3 bedrooms, but we thought the price and location were so good we took it. We were paid $870 for a 2 bedroom apartment in Indianapolis, so definitely a lot cheaper than there.

It seems like some on the list charge a lot for their place, but I think they expect people with roommates to rent and figure people would be willing to pay 300 or 350 each and charge $900, but I haven't looked at the quality of the house, so maybe it's not over charging, but definitely be aware of that when looking at the list. Also, I heard the list is on the short side now but will have a lot more listings sometime later this month.
