Yes, but it was still active and the first option that came up when searching for information about this topic. As such, I figured it could help current students who were looking for what worked for...
My school had it set up so we automatically did Hurst Review for three days towards the end of the semester and Prep-U throughout the entirety of our last semester. I also purchased a Kaplan book for...

Which campus are you attending? Not sure I can help much because I'm not from the area but it's worth a shot. I think I remember seeing something about housing on one of the facebook pages related...

nermface, were you able to get all your questions answered at the info session? If not, I might be able to help out a bit. Actually just came back again to give some advice from my roommate. For...
