Uchicago Neubauer Summer Scholars 2016

@quoderatuhhh if it was a huge deal they wouldve contacted you i think

@quoderatuhhh I doubt it, I saw the email and forgot about it for a week into June and they never contacted me about it either… Speaking of roomates tho, do you guys think they’ll tell us our roommates before we get there? Or if we’ll be paired up with people in the Neubauer program or in the regular program?

@ComradeValdez I remember reading something about getting the name of our roommate when we get there. I’m also pretty sure that we’ll be paired within our program, which is also kinda nice.

yeah that is correct ^

Yeah emailed Ms. Castle and she said no worries. and yeah that is true!

Anyone have a general outline of how they’re packing for 3 weeks? Also, maybe we should bring 1 or 2 nice outfits if we go somewhere nice like dinner

@quoderatuhhh i’m only bringing one big suitcase and its difficult to pack for three weeks! bring a school bag/tote with supplies, laptop, charger
maybe bring a swimsuit because there are beaches around!

@quoderatuhhh we also have access to the gym so bring gym clothes and shoes if youre interested in that, i want to go but i feel like therell be no time :frowning:

@Dartmouth_21 I’m probably going to bring two!

Ah I’m so excited to meet my roommate! In the survey I wrote that I was outgoing and stay up past midnight–anyone else??

@SugarSmarts i think for most of mine i wrote no preference… LOL and id probably go to bed at midnight and the choices were before or after. i really don’t care that much about that. its good that they did that survey–so we get someone compatible :slight_smile:

Yeah it"s funny cause I’m from Chicago and I still don’t know how to pack! Our weather is so crazy. The beaches here are a bit crazy lol as they’re mostly used for partying. Lately lots of fights have been breaking out so the police are cracking down on it. I have a feeling it won’t be the first place they have us visit haha @Dartmouth_21

@Dartmouth_21 I’m definitely gonna try to go workout! I’m missing all of summer training for cross country and need to be able to run 6 miles a day by August 10 8-|

@quoderatuhhh yeah the crime does seem bad… And oh cool! The athletic center seems really nice

i found our class on the timetables website and there are 13 students in the writing one :slight_smile:

Hey I was hoping I would a fellow runner! I’m coming off an illness so I need to run as much as I can, and the facilities should be pretty nice.
Just about nine hours until I have to get up to leave for the airport, I’m way too excited to get any sleep right now

Ayyyyy, that makes two! I actually put down that I’d prefer somebody who worked out on the roomate survey cuz I’m out of shape and I do not want to go to the gym alone lol

@FresaVille @ComradeValdez yay! runner friends!! I’m excited to use their gym for free:))

@ComradeValdez yeah! We should get a group of gym people! I hate going to the gym alone too lol

@ComradeValdez @quoderatuhhh @FresaVille @Dartmouth_21 @cubargentine @aayala59 Was re-reading this thread and missing you guys!!
