Hi guys, Im starting in the Tucson cohort. I'm looking forward to meeting you all at tomorrow's induction. I wanted to give you Phoenix MEPNERS some advice on renting near downtown. A year ago I lived in Phoenix and had to commute downtown for school. I can tell you that rent is expensive near downtown and the apartment complex's know that many student's are looking to rent there because of the law schools, ASU downtown campus and Biomedical campus. Knowing this, the apartment managers take full advantage of that and set there prices high. The good thing is that those apartments are conveniently close. However, if you're looking to save some money I recommend Midtown PHX. the rent range is between $600-$700 plus utilities (internet, electricity, water, netflix = $100 give or take depending on your habits) I used to live in an apartment on camelback, between 7th ave and SR 51. It may seem far on google maps but it's really not. It took me 15 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes, to get to Central and Washington (smack dab in the middle of downtown). I use to pass the Biomedical campus every morning and it took 10 minutes from midtown because 7th ave is a straight shot from Midtown to downtown. Plus, downtown doesn't have many big box stores for groceries, home utilities or clothing. Where I lived, just a leap over the SR51, you have the Biltmore fashion district, apple store, Fry's food, CVS, Cox cable/internet, Best Buy, Whole Foods, Walmart, Nordstrum rack, banks and great restaurants. Also, camelback mountain (hiking/stress relief) was 10 minutes away. Anyways, I just wanted to share some 411 on the area. Best of luck to all of you future MEPN grads. P.S. feel free to copy and paste this info on your Phoenix Cohort Facebook page for anyone still looking. Btw, the apartments where I lived was called Camelback Cove (1bd/1bath $650, clean, gated and quiet).

I've been offered provisional admissions to UA MEPN Phoenix campus! Full admissions is contingent on FCC and other documents. I guess I just have wait for the paperwork in the mail. Congrats to everyone who got in!

Had my interview already and it went well. A little awkward with two applicants at the same time but overall a good experience. They told everyone that they will notify via email by the end on next week.

I'm very excited for tomorrow's interview. Good luck to everyone! Anyone know if they'll ask any technical questions???

Hi everyone! For all those who applied for MEPN Summer 2016, GOOD LUCK!!!

Hi all, I'm about to submit my application. I'm getting the last few things together. I was wondering if anyone know how long the Graduate Application is and What types of documents do you need to fill it out? Peace
