Hi everyone. I decided to go to DMU. Anyone else, pm me. I'd like to get to know you.
Can anyone comment on the city of Des Moines itself? I got an interview next week but I'm curious what it's actually like there. My hometown is very close to new york city so I am thinking its gonna be much different. Definitely cheaper cost of living!
How about things to do when you have free time?
My deposit to DMU left my mailbox this week! We picked a great school, didn't we? I personally think its the best (but everyone seems to think their school is the best). I can't wait to meet you all!
I was there on Nov 30th. I knew Meghan from a previous visit and she told me that she was really glad that I got my interview when I did because the class was filling up VERY fast. 9 people were in my interview group that day. Who knows, but from the way it sounded, I think my group might have been at the tail end of the acceptances. I'm pretty curious myself, so if anyone got in after November, let us know!
So I have been down by DMU today trying to find somewhere to live. I forgot how much of a pain it is to find apartments! There are a lot, but they all seem really old.
Does anyone have suggestions other than 3000 Grand?
well, i just checked my e-mail...it seems like there are still several spots open....
maybe they experienced an unexpected rush and thought spots might be filling up earlier this year??
Since you are going to be in Iowa for awhile you should think about buying. I bought a four bedroom house 3 miles from the school and my monthly payment was less than rent for an apt at 3000 Grand. I graduate this may so its time to sell and start looking to buy where I'll be doing my residency. If you end up selling your home for what you paid for it after four years you essentiall you lived rent free for four years. Not bad when you consider an apt at 3000 Grand would end up costing you about 36000 for four years. PM me if your interested. Good luck.
so has everyone completed the financial aid packet? I did mine, kinda confusing but i think for the most part i did it right
When/where did you guys get the financial packets? I haven't gotten mine yet. I put my deposite down in Jan.
I recieved my statement online, with a breakdown of which loans i qualified for, i think i recieved it last week.
they sent an email saying to check out my portal, and on the portal it had the spread of where all the money was coming fromWas it at the portal online thing, or by email?
I have no idea where I'm going to be living yet. I...
J0ez0r, I am probably going to be going out there around that time. I love to golf, though I am not very good. I am at the stage where I either hit a good shot or I shank it 30 feet on the ground.
