Could not agree more! Felt really connected to Carlson when being interviewed by Dustin, a nice guy. Also moved by their professional expertise, friendliness and enthusiasm. I bet going to Carlson is the right thing for me. Wish you all feel the same way. 5 L1 ^5 x8 m7 _1 j- [) }2 t ( _; @2 c( E C( B" y! X, H O. H/ D B- d. X3 q

' L& I7 }9 V9 x& vMainly, I got my experience from the communication with Dustin and Tracy. They cared about my concerns and questions, responded timely, marketed Calson's edges very well, and paied attention to my personal details- for example, Dutin sent me Birthday greeting and provided me with some Chinese students' email addresses. Although there were not big deals among these stuff, I can say they did their job very well. Meanwhile, 葫芦 also provided lots of valuable information about Carlson. 7 x, k5 Y; O" ^% X7 l) z% K8 u; n" m5 s @& d, o* d

关于第二年的贷款问题,我所知道的情况是,大多数2年级的中国同学,不是有奖学金了,就是在外面继续暑假的SUMMER INTERN做PART-TIME,再要不就是在学校里找到了GA或者TA的工作。。学校的GA和TA是可以享受本州学生的学费还有一定百分比(25%左右?)的学费减免,然后每周工作15-20小时, 每小时15刀左右的薪水。。9 A: ~; Y9 t3 m) n- R

我现在住的这个就不错,离学校一个block,不过是unfurnished的,除了这个,离Carlson比较近的还有grandmarc(furnished)和seven corner(unfurnished),grandmarc和seven corner都有one-bed room,我住的可能就需要跟别人share了。。除了grandmarc是傻贵傻贵的,还装的都是used furniture,SEVEN CORNER和我住的这个都还不错吧,关键可能是看有没有空房子吧!/ O( M# A9 X2 c/ p, m

学校有一个专门给graduate或拖家带口的同学的小区,离carlson比较远就是了,在ST PAUL校区那边,但是走去校车站和公车站都还方便,价格也还不错,300多one room in a two bed room apt。500多就单人间了。。而且据说很多中国同学住那边,我猜有更多机会认识很多中国同学吧! # F1 y7 t3 [4 z0 y!

我很同意lyw的意见,大家可以去那些网站上看看,找一些感觉,找一些目标。我去年常去的还有rent.com和学校内部的一个关于housing的论坛,那上面有很多sublease和找roommate的信息。大家的offer package里是不是有这个连接?4 W0 f& u9 ~$ \
3 F- f% s- d0 x
不过呢,我个人的感觉还是在网上看到的信息还是有限的说,只能看一个大概的情况,租房子还有很多其他问题可以考虑,比如说周边环境、交通状况(尤其是很多中国同学可能第一年都不会一过来就急着买车)、房子的里的情况。因为大部分lease都是一签就是一年,所以还是建议大家慎重一点,对于这个问题不用太着急了,我觉得还是来了这边,能实地去考察一下比较好。尤其MBA是7月就要过来的,那时候还不算是租房高峰期,运气好的话,很快能找到房子。大家可以把在网站上看到得离学校近的房子的信息先存下来,一过来有针对性的去找,效率会更高。 8 O$ W9 g% ^, f* I% ^5 w) }1 ?. O4 H' X- g
另外,刚过来的时候,大家可以跟中国学生会联系,他们会联系接机及host family事宜,这边有很多教会组织很乐意张罗这些。一般来说可以在host family家暂时歇脚一两周,可能这个时间都够找到房子了。如果不愿意住陌生人家里的,学校在comstock给新生提供了临时宿舍,不过只到8月31日,价格大概在10-20刀一天。 & e, E% g7 e( P) r) f ; Y, ?0 `# N% x2 `7 E0 NChateau是学校附近比较有名气的一个地方,因为房租把所有的东西都cover了,所以很抢手,很多人排队想搬进去。。07级MBA班上有同学住在那里,里面中国同学也很多。不过我个人不是很喜欢那里。Chateau是east bank的一个高层建筑,对于我来说唯一可取的就是住高点的话视线不错,但是房子比较老,离CARLSON也有点距离,而且里面通风不畅,一做饭满屋子油烟味,走在Chateau的走廊上闻到各式各样的菜味是很正常的。。而且那个价格也不比我现在住的好到那里去!所以我去年一来就很巧碰到一个机会可以搬过去,但是还是放弃了。Karinsplass是2 bed room的1100,seven corner的1 bed room是700刀左右,2室的也应该是1100+。。( S0 N: B/ N& X' ~% [7 H {8 ^% y
