hey everyone, so i am kind of confused on housing options:
1. from what i understand, most students live in lansborough apt correct?
2. what other apt are located directly on the rail (or basically can get to school easily)?
3. lot of people have been talking about buying a condo. does one need to purchase property in order to declare residency (and if so, did you hear that by word of mouth or is that explicitly written somwhere)? will a 12 month apt lease work to establish residency?
4. is anyone looking for a roommate (im a male btw), either apt or condo?
5. does baylor have some kind of list that allows people to contact future classmates in order to find roommates?
thanks!
I've also heard that a lot of students live at the Greenbriar which is right next to the Lanesborough and that the staff/maintenance is MUCH MUCH better there. I've heard multiple horror stories about problems at the Lanesborough that were not fixed quickly or at all (one even included bees in a student's apartment and the staff was pretty much like what do you want us to do about it). Students also live at Kirby Place and The Providence at Kirby, but these are not on the rail. They do have a shuttle to the med center, but it only runs every so often.
As far as roommates go, I called Baylor today because I am also looking for a roommate (female) and was trying to get more info since what they posted on their website was pretty much useless. Apparently we can email our own requests/blurbs etc to "myint AT bcm.edu" and they will be posted the next time they update the website. Unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly when this will be. They said it depends on how many requests they get. If there are a bunch they will post soon (within the week), if there aren't very many it may be 2 weeks or so.
