I actually live in Buffalo Grove so I am going to commute. Oak Park is nice though and it will be very convenient for you. I wish I could live closer but I have been commuting to the city for 4 years now so I am used to it.
Nope. The letter said it would come soon so I'm waiting. On the LOCUS sight under "VIEW FINANCIAL AID AWARD" I can click on 2013-2014 aid year but nothing comes up so it must not be finished yet. Did you decide to go to Loyola for sure?
My application was complete on February 12th so I will probably hear back soon. I also applied to NYU but that is way too expensive. I am graduating from UIC with a Bachelor's in Kinesiology this May.
Congrats! I keep checking online but that obviously seems like a waste of time. Where did you do your undergrad and what was it if you don't mind me asking.
