[P.C.]

Why ?......because I didn't know who 'they' were.  That's all.

  Anyways.......[FONT size=5]Congratulations SD [/FONT]!!!!!!  That was a long time coming.

How do you feel?

[Sawdust]

WOO HOO, Congratulations SD, You'll love Malaspina and the Island.

 

[Sportsdude]

I can't wait.
Going to major in Geography. I want to be an urban planner.
 

[Sportsdude]

I feel relieved.
In the middle of last week I stumbled on this part that said they would send it by email so I haven't been all crazy about getting the mail.

Kewl!  What do you have to do now then?  Have you looked for a place down there?


 

[Sportsdude]

right now, passport, student visa.
Pay.
Then I pick my classes.
Student housing
Then Orientation

fun times.
 

[Sawdust]

My take on things would be to apply for student housing NOW! The Malaspina website recommends that you apply for housing the same time you apply for admission.

Not much use getting a student visa if you're going to be living under a bridge. Lol

I want to live with the condo thingy. Where you have your own room and share a kitchen living room.

 Ditto to that.  Did you not apply for on-campus student housing when you first applied to Malaspina?  I hope you did otherwise it looks like you're SOL.  

  The web-site there says:  "Apply NOW to [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffbf"]add your name to the waiting list [/FONT]for September 2007."  That tells me student housing is already full and the only thing left is the wait list.  Even if one gets accepted, they say "acceptance at Malaspina University-College does not guarantee acceptance in residence."

  Also, it says "Room assignments are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Letters of acceptance are distributed to students in June/July for the fall semester; in November for the spring semester, and in early April for the summer semester."

  By the way, congrats on your acceptance at Malaspina University-College and good luck from student housing, to your student visa, to your classes.

Congratulations Sportsdude.
So this urban planner job... do you lay out blueprints for roads / parks or something?
 

[Sportsdude]

Urban Planning basically means people who lay out cities, Urban Planners are the city builders.
Think of the computer game Sim City.
I love that game.

A good example of good urban planning is downtown Vancouver.

I emailed the Residence people. I'll talk to them tomorrow most likely.
