Title: hey Washingtonianers
Post by: max_cool on April 24, 2007, 08:05:10 PM: Tell me about Spokane, please.

Just got a letter from Gonzaga telling me I'm accepteed into their law school if I want to go. It's my only acceptance so far and I'm seriously thinking about going rather than dealing with re-taking the LSAT and re-applying while taking yet another year off. I'm already 26 so I'd arther get it done soon.

Post by: max_cool on April 24, 2007, 09:08:08 PM: yeah, my GPA was total shit (first couple of year, didn't even think of being a lawyer) and I wasn't as prepared for the LSAT as I thought. The only reservation I have about it is the cost. It's truly fucking expensive even with a $5000 scholarship. I'm hoping I can get about 20K in Loans and grants, otherwise I have to rely on the folks and they want to retire soon.

Post by: bluemax on April 24, 2007, 09:18:56 PM: I had a friend from highschool who did her undergrad at Gonzaga. She told me stories about drinking with the Priests or whatever (and she wasn't even a party person in highschool).

For undergrads I heard if you're from Washington you can find a connection to anyone on campus within a few people. IE someone who knows someone you know from highschool or whatever.

I've been to a lot of towns in Washington, including Pullman, and never been to Spokane. Still I could ask my friend for stuff to do for a college kid if you want.

Post by: max_cool on April 24, 2007, 09:46:26 PM: Thanks Bluemax, but I have pretty much gotten past my partying days. I just want to do well in my classes and hustle as much as possible to get a good internship.

Then again, it wouldn't hurt to hear what the co-eds are like :-*

Actually, if you're going to be stuck on the East side of the mountains, Spokane is the best (and only!) place to be stuck. Congrats on getting into Gonzaga!

First I gotta stop in E and get drunk with some people though.

Post by: drozmight on April 30, 2007, 05:22:31 PM: I just returned and I swear they probably don't have zoning laws at all... It was like, house, apartment, wal-mart, apartment, car toys, houses, and then a park with an auto supply store in the middle of it.

Also, I went to Big K-Mart and found it inherently depressing.

Post by: max_cool on April 30, 2007, 08:11:43 PM: I happened to run into a dude from there today and he says it's a pretty messed up city form a city planners perspective. Said that if they were to build a Nroth/Shout freeway it would take like 20 years or something.
