Pavolga - it wont let me send a PM because I haven't been enough of an active user on the site - oh dear. you can find me on facebook pretty easily - I am the only Lauren Conway-Russell there is, and am searchable. and here is a link to page - facebook.com/conway.russell.l thanks a million, sorry about that. what the heck! L.

Thanks for starting the facebook group, I'd LOVE to be added!!! I'm getting so excited...starting the final countdown at work and about to start my last pre-req. wawhoo. Lauren

MikeM! I'm glad you were able to talk to someone and sort it out! I wish I could stay at my work part time, but they are just not supportive of that. I'm hoping to work at starbucks with my best friend, haha, but I have a few other ideas, too. :) where are you coming from? I'm living in Jamaica plain, which isn't too far from Curry. I'm hoping to bike when it's nice, but I'm probably buying my baby sister's car this summer to make the commute a little easier (and the program a little more expensive, haha - a car is responsibility I've been happy to be without until now!) Happy friday, and have a great weekend! Lauren

MikeM118 - I did speak to a finaid person at the workshop they held for us last wednesday. I was awarded that stafford loan, but it wasn't per semester, but per school year. I have to admit that I was a little shell shocked trying to figure out how I'd pay for it all after meeting with them, and that my little meeting wasn't super helpful besides getting some real hard numbers to crunch and figure out. I'm planning to work part time (15-20 hours a week?) and take out the max private loans possible, on top of the stafford. getting excited to meet my cohort!!! !! !!! L.

Hooray indeed! I still need to take chemistry, which I am going to do at Roxbury Community college this fall. hope to run into you both tomorrow before or after fin aid meetings! Lauren

I was seriously a little disappointed to - I was hoping for a whole little group talk and then the individual meetings!! that said, I am pretty grateful for the chance to talk to finaid about how to pay for this business!!!

I haven't sent in the deposit yet, but I plan to soon, I guess. I am also hoping to get lots of answers at the fin aid workshop - I have an appointment at 6pm - will you be around? I'm so excited to meet our cohort!!! L.

hi all, I was recently accepted to Curry's accel program starting in January 2014. Was hoping to connect with classmates! I'd love to hear how folks are planning to get to school - I don't have a car at the moment and live in Jamaica Plain. yikes! I'm psyched and can't wait to start and meet you all! Lauren
