Lone Star Spring 2011

Published

Okay, for all of us that did not get into the Lone Star Fall 2010 program and are trying again for the Spring...here we go again.

I'm retaking AP2 this summer (I have a B so now I want an A) to increase my points. After that I just don't know what else to do because I have all co-reqs completed, CPR done and Immunizations done. What are your plans to increase your chances of getting in for the Spring?

Maybe it's because I'm from Chicago but I find EVERY part of Texas to be ludicrously inexpensive!!

We moved here from Chicago a few years ago! I was in shock that I could afford a home (small, but still) in the city! :D

franksl-- I'm also moving to Houston for the first time! Have you been on HAR.com? Scroll down and go to "residential lease" at the bottom and you can look up all the homes available for rent. I would also suggest contacting a Realtor. I checked craigslist once or twice but never found anything. I didn't find Katy or Spring to be significantly cheaper (but I could be wrong). Maybe it's because I'm from Chicago but I find EVERY part of Texas to be ludicrously inexpensive!!

No I did not know about HAR.com, thanks for the info. I will definatly look them up. I had looked for months on craigslist and just recently I have started finding homes in the Spring and Katy area for $1000.00 and under. I dont have a family (Its just my boyfriend and I) so I dont need anything big. I would like to stay around the $900.00 - $1000.00 max. Coming for Chicago, I imagine Texas seems so cheap, I always choke a little bit when I see how much houses are going for in Chicago and places like NY. What made you decide to move from Chicago? My boyfriend is from Edwardsville Illinois/ St Louis area.

Kyla--What'd you get on your math portion of the test?

Franksl--we actually live in a burb of Chicago (similar to what CyFair is to Houston). While I like our burb I HATE Chicago. Other than touristy things it's a dirty, crime-ridden city (in my opinion). My husband and I really wanted to just raise our family somewhere different. We wanted a place that doesn't get cold and affordable housing prices and my husband has family in Houston so we figured this was a good fit!
