Maybe it's an East Coast thing, but everything seems to be moving faster here than it normally would anywhere else. Already, as the first semester is just past the halfway mark, students are already talking about where they will live next year. Will it be on-grounds or off? North of Central Grounds or by JPA? I already know of students who have scheduled tours at properties available for lease around UVa. Even my own suite has tours of apartments scheduled for Friday. Whether or not I should be caught up in the hype, I'm not sure. I mean, yeah, it would be great to have my own place (or a shared place with the select people I choose) but the randomly selected roommate(s) wasn't such a bad experience after all. The meals were, ah, digestible, especially when had at Runk. Certainly college is a time of increased responsibility, but I am not sure if cooking for myself is on the list yet. And the expenses incurred by off-grounds living, how much cheaper would it be to live on grounds? At this time, I do not know the answer. But I'm okay with that. I won't get caught in the rush of finding next year's housing -- I I have plenty of other things that take priority. Besides, I just got here.
