Hi Ames808, I called today and asked about the "Discussions" tab because I couldn't see it either. Apparently it's a problem with Blackboard and they're trying to get it fixed.

I went to GW for undergrad and lived on campus in Foggy Bottom all four years, so I'm familiar with the city and how different it is from New York. I'm not as familiar with NOVA though, so I'm hoping to visit a few times before making a decision on where to live. I don't currently have a car, but that's on my list of things to do this summer. As much as I'd love to be able to continue to use public transportation, I fully realize that the Metro is not nearly as accessible as NYC's subway and buses. Hopefully some of us will be able to carpool too so that we can lessen that amount of driving.

Hi everyone, I just got my acceptance this past Monday! I'm very excited after such a long wait, and I'm *almost* positive I'm going to attend (I also got into Drexel, so I'm still technically deciding). I was wondering what people are planning on doing in terms of housing. I've lived in NYC for the past 6 years and I don't want to totally give up city life just yet, so I'd like to live closer to DC, like Alexandria or Arlington. I am currently a high school teacher and live with other teachers, and I know how nice it is to live with people who are going through the same stresses as you are, so I'm thinking it'd be nice to live with other students in the program. Is anyone else looking for roommates in the program? Has anyone been to the info sessions? If you have, have you found them to be useful? Also, Mindylane, thank you so much for all your posts! It's really helpful to hear from a current student.

Hi all. I just got in for the fall too! Congrats to everyone else that's gotten in so far and good luck to those still waiting to hear. :) Yourstruly_dm and meredith8, I live in Washington Heights right now. I've been in NYC for almost 6 years now, so I'm looking forward to a change of scenery!
