Oh also I was going to go looking for apartments too. I was thinking that it would be awesome if a bunch of us 2010 cohort lived together. That way we would always be studying for the same thing and be able to help each other out! Valencia

I got an e-mail saying that we will have orientation on Friday the 23rd of October. I figured that they would tell us what all we needed then. P.S. What is your name? I was wanting to meet some other people in the program before it started. Will you be going to the orientating? Valencia

Awesome! Thank you so much for the advice. I was wanting to probably bar tend at night and do class in the evening so that way I could make decent money with out working too hard. Yeah I didn't want to take out a personal loan either... FAFSA is plenty. I know which glass building you are talking about haha! That is so funny b/c I was looking into that cuz that is what DePaul recommends but when I saw the price tag I was like... NO WAY JOSE! So will you be at the orientation on Friday of next week? The e-mail said that the school sent out said that there would be current students there to talk to us. Also what are your plans for the future... are you going straight into a certification program, i.e. teaching or APN, or are you just going to work for a little bit? Also, if you know anybody that needs a roommate... I am looking!!!

Hello, I also was wondering about working. My FAFSA covers most of it but I have to pay for my living expenses so I was wondering how hard it was for you to work while doing the program. Is it possible or is it waaaaaay to overwhelming? Also, what is the best area to live in. I really want to live in Lincoln Park but it seems like the prices are really high and the availability of places is low. Would it be better to live in Roscoe Village or Lakeview? Valencia

Congratulations!!! This is too exciting!!! So how did you decided on going to get a masters in nursing? What is your bachelors in? I am finishing my chemistry major this fall semester at EIU. I am too happy to find out that I'm going to be a nurse!!! Is DePaul your first pick... Do you live in the area? DePaul is for sure my first pick and I don't live in the area (I'm from the rural St. Louis area on the Illinois side) but my boyfriend lives in Roscoe Village so I am so happy that we won't have to be in a long distance relationship any more!!! Where were you planning on living in January... or were you thinking that far in advance yet? ~Valencia~

Hi all, I am new to allnurses. I just found out that I will be accepted into the DePaul masters entry program in 2010 and I was wondering if anyone else out there got the same great news! My question is if anyone else in the 2010 cohort or other cohorts that would like to get together and rent a house in the area! I think it could really benefit all of us if we lived together! I am a 23 year old female who is a serious student but a fun person! If anyone is interested please respond or request me as a friend on facebook! My name is Valencia Anderson and I'm in the Eastern Illinois University network. I look forward to hearing all the good news from the others out there and making new friends at DePaul!!! YAY we're gonna be NURSES!!!! :redbeathe:nurse::redbeathe All my best, Valencia
