OMGWHAT

I GOT INTO HOUSING FOR TRINITY.

DORM! KAJHFKJAF. EXCITEMENT!

Okay why this is awesome, let me explain to you~

A- PRICE PRICE PRICE. Apartments? NOT CHEAP! Houses? NEED TO KNOW SOME PEOPLE TO MAKE IT CHEAP! Options? SEVERELY LIMITED! Dorms? STRANGELY AFFORDABLE.
B- STRESS OH GOD STRESS! If I were NOT in the dorms I couldn't find a place to live until I FLEW OVER* and met people and set things up and. Ohgodscary. So. Yes. MUCH better.
C- EASE OF MEETING PEOPLE. I'm in a single bedroom in an apartment of six people. I...don't know how that works, exactly, but it sounds cool?
D- LOCATION. It's not ON campus but it not FAR from campus. And right on a tram line and a few bus routes! If I were apartment hunting for something affordable I MIGHT just have ended up in Timbuktu. WHO KNOOOOWS.
E- OVERABUNDANCE OF JOY. Self-explanatory.

So you see, my day? She is made.

Oh and if anyone knows of and icons of DINO that I DON'T HAVE UPLOADED AT piratewhip, please tell me? I'm down to making them, for the most part. Because every icon I find seems to have his lips attached to Hibari in some way and he doesn't actually want to die just yet, thanks.

[mallowmateys is the booooomb and I adore it. ♥, everyone!]

*For those unaware or new to the flist~ I'm going to grad school in Ireland in the fall. Thus the stress about having to FLY OVER before doing anything @_@

The people who say appartments are cheaper than dorms always make me laugh.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

No, in some places they are!! My apartment last year was definitely cheaper, and I know a lot of places around my old college that were cheaper. And I lived in both! It just depends on location. And Dublin is NOT one of those locations @_@

Well, yeah I guess that's true. I think though that what people forget to factor in though is that the charge they're looking at covers amenitites too. Like the $400/month appartment vs. the $4000/school year dorm room are differnet creatures sometimes because the appartment isnt' factoring in electricity and/or water, ect...

[piratewhip.livejournal.com]

Some people, do, yeah. But Sometimes even with all that included, it does come out cheaper, particularly in like, a college TOWN. Because the apartments are aimed at students almost exclusively-- non-students are usually looking for a more permanent residence. In a city, it's a whole different beast.

Yeah, I guess I'm different than most. I want to stay in my college town because then I don't need a car.

[piratewhip.livejournal.com]

...okay I don't think that's what I meant at all. I meant a town that exists BECAUSE there's a college, not a college that exists in an already-fairly-successful town.

[uozlulu.livejournal.com]

Well West Lafayette only exists because Purdue was put here.

[piratewhip.livejournal.com]

Practically the same with Statesboro. It SORT OF existed, but the college is why it has any sort of reasonable population. But that doesn't mean I don't need a car! @_@

[uozlulu.livejournal.com]

Oh well, since I can't drive, I have to be where there are busses to take me where I need to go. That' why I want to stay in West Lafayette because thent he only time I'll need a car is if I'm going to Indy for doctor stuff then I can take a taxi or maybe get a ride off my mom or something.

[piratewhip.livejournal.com]

Our bus system is useless. I goes in a one-way circle around campus. SORT OF. If you need to go anywhere USEFUL, like the store, you need a car. XD

[uozlulu.livejournal.com]

We have about five or six different loops and one of them goes out to the mall and best buy areas of Lafayette XD I'm pretty much set living there.
