Re: Calling all Darden Fall 2011 Applicants! [#permalink]
Sweet! So does anyone have any idea about where they think they'll live while going to Darden? I know a lot of peeps stay at Ivy Gardens, but I'm not really too familiar with the apartment situation there.

I currently live in Arlington Court Condos, which is about a 7-10 minute walk from Darden. Right across from me is the Jeffersonian apartments, which is pretty cheap but gets filled up fast. Ivy Gardens is a tad closer to Darden, but it depends on where in that complex you live.

The condo I'm living at is pet friendly, $1050/month including water/sewage/trash. There are one and two bedroom units available. I'm in a two bedroom unit and it's one large bedroom and one small bedroom, which is ideal for couples (the bedroom's the size of the living room, so there's a lot of space). The smaller room can turn into a nice study room. There's a basement and many units will have a washer/dryer unit down there, which is convenient. There's also a laundry room on site. Each unit has 2 parking spaces in the lot and it's all assigned parking, towing enforced so you don't have to battle it out for space. If anyone's interested, let me know and I can put you in touch with my landlord (she owns several units and knows many of the other owners as well).

Hope this helps!

This is awesome! I'm glad to see so many more Darden folks now. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make Darden Days but I will definitely see you guys when school starts.

I currently live in Arlington Court Condos, which is about a 7-10 minute walk from the law school (3-5 min to the law school). Right across from me is the Jeffersonian apartments, which is pretty cheap but gets filled up fast. Ivy Gardens is a tad closer to Darden, but it depends on where in that complex you live. Basically, along That area's mostly filled with Law and Darden students. It's not a huge party area (that usually occurs at Ivy Gardens). Those are the only walking-distance areas to Darden.

The condos I'm living at is pet friendly, $1050/month including water. There are one and two bedroom units. The 2 bedroom unit's the one I'm in, and it's one large bedroom and one small bedroom, which is ideal for couples (the bedroom's the size of the living room, so there's a lot of space). The smaller room can turn into a nice study room. There's a basement and many units will have a washer/dryer unit down there, which is convenient. There's also a laundry room on site.

tarheel, would you happen to have any comments about Barracks West and UHeights? I found both of these complexes on Craigslist (both are pet-friendly) and are fairly cheap in terms of their monthly rent.

I actually looked into both places when I moved here in 2009. Barracks West has, in addition to a nonrefundable pet deposit, a monthly "pet rent," which I was against on principle. UHeights was just too old for me, plus they make you handle all utilities including trash/sewage. I don't know if things have changed in the last couple years though.

Re: Calling all Darden Fall 2011 Applicants! [#permalink]
Waitlisted!!! I really want to be admitted to Darden. I was accepted to Fuqua, but I prefer to attend Darden.

When crafting a waitlist letter, to whom should it be address (Admissions committee or Director of Admissions)? Also, should I send it to my interviewer or to the generic Darden email address (darden@virginia.edu)

Thanks.
