    I'll reiterate the above and approve ONE stereotype of Durham: Avoid neighborhoods east of downtown. Perhaps most importantly because Duke is west of downtown... but also because they're crummy....

    Bob Schmitz is your basic landlord in a college town of 275,000: IT DEPENDS. I've heard of him (and really, not him, but his company, because let's face it the guy is loaded and has people to do his...

    Just found out that Bull McCabe's (downtown, @ Chapel Hill and Main, great pub food) has Big10 Network! Just ask Willie or Tracy or Jay or Malachy to humor you (erm.... let's just say I've been...

    As a die-hard Illini fan and a staunch defender of anti-BigTen trash talk, I have railed against picking one of the Triangle's storied ACC basketball teams to receive the honor of my fan-ship. Thanks...

    Hoping the few people I spoke with today at the interviews who had flights in a northeasterly direction got out of town ok! I think the girl on the way to Philly is probably holed up here waiting it...

    Crap. I would start saving some cash for the deposit, but I don't want to jinx

    Snow day! Work is shut down. Hope everyone from out of town has been able to leave safely! Thanks for the insights about the interviews; it has been really helpful. I guess it's time to hunker down...

    Welcome to the worry factory, Amy! I've got the 5th as well, as I think one or two others do. The advice so far seems to relax and be yourself (assuming, I guess, that ones"self" is energetic and...

    Good luck, all! Let us know how it goes. Hope the weather here improves a bit; you missed our usual January Indian

    quick survey: who's interviewing on the 5th? Looking forward to

    Count me in on being a bit ****** about the new interview process. Bass-ackwards if you ask me! I'll certainly be tailoring my ongoing internal monologue/interview practice accordingly, but I aint...

    I'll second Gator's impressions of the Farmers' market, and not just because many of the folks out there are my good friends :) Even midwinter, things are still going strong down there. Last weekend...

    Sorry to miss so many questions about Durham and housing.. I forgot all about y'all with the holiday craziness. For shame. Going back to some earlier questions about Durham's safety: Crime is down...

    JasonB replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yep, ya beat me to it. The Marriott is a quick and pretty (except the part where you pass my neighborhood :) ) drive to DHS.. Less than 5 minutes if you drive like I do. Hopefully, they will...

    JasonB replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    As far as hotels go, the Marriott downtown is a great option on the kinda-pricier end.. probably a good bet for those of you bringing s/o's in tow. Walking distance from Rue Cler, my French...

    Wow! I leave for one day and you guys throw five pages of posts at me! Not surprising considering the AWESOME circumstances! Got my email a while ago, too! WOO! As I was going to tell you all...

    Hehe.. I think I'm still under quota for the moment in re: bothering *nice lady*, so I'll be glad to ask more questions when I call her with my GRE score on thursday if anything pressing comes up on...

    JasonB replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It does seem a bit odd.. Here's how I *think* they consider about it: One of their rubrics is your undergrad GPA, and another rubric is a sort of "pass" on that if you have aced everything since. It...

    JasonB replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I have been told that, while their overall GPA calculations only really take your undergrad degree into account, your grades in post-degree prerequisite courses weigh heavily in their decision

    JasonB replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    True, it's a waste of time trying to compare our vitals, as it were. It IS nice, though, to finally feel challenged and motivated by other students' experiences. Not to knock NCCU too much, but I...
