Rent my room! ($500/beginning around August 1) I live in an awesome rowhouse in Charles Village, between JHU and Station North, right near a grocery, bus lines, you name it. I lived in CV and went to UMBC and it was super rad. Here's the craigslist post: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/roo/1260941901.html for more details. The other roommates are also recent UMBC grads. Yay!

Sort of an odd question, but does anyone know what the cable package they have in Hillside? That's the one I want to buy for my off-campus place. I only want those few channels. :p

Fellow UMBC students/grads - I'm seeking a marketing major to work with me on promoting a website I created over the last year or so in my spare time. While I can manage the development and test of the system, I realize I'm out of my league in trying to promote it and get new users. The site has a potential to make money, and I am willing to share a percentage of any profits made. This is a risk-free opportunity... it's a spare-time activity for me and I anticipate it will be for you too. If we make something, great. If not, that's fine too. So see this as an opportunity to put all the stuff you're learning/have learned to work.
The site is a family-oriented tool for exchanging gift ideas between friends and family members. It does not contain any questionable content. It is open to the public and is not oriented towards any particular audience.
If you're interested, please reply with your email address and I will be in contact with you.

So I know grades usually come out really late, but does anyone know the actual day they have to be posted on? I was unable to find it on the website.
Thanks in advance!:D

Has anyone heard about the mythical commencement busses? I was going through my email and stumbled upon a message from Eleanor Lewis that mentioned busses that left for the ceremony at 10:30a and 11:30a, but not from where they were departing. I haven't received a confirmation email after RSVPing, so I wonder if they actually exist.
Does anyone have additional information?

UMBC Community!
So it's almost time for finals and the end of the semester, which means you need events to do to procrastinate and then things to do instead of being in school after the semester ends!
This weekend, celebrate before the end of the semester by going to see Movin' Out at the Hippodrome. Movin' Out is a musical featuring the work of Billy Joel, and it's only going to be at the Hippodrome for ONE weekend (check out a video about the show here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Daw1VjIAfg&feature=related). There are going to be several UMBC students in attendance this weekend, so you should make it a point to check it out. Because we're all poor college students, be sure to take advantage of the $20 discount when you use the discount code "BRENDA" on Ticketmaster to get tickets (http://www.ticketmaster.com/search?tm_link=tm_homeA_header_search&q=hippodrome+movin%27+out&search.x=0&search.y=0). I hope to see some other UMBC students there this weekend!
Coming later this season to the Hippodrome is the Tony Award winning musical Spring Awakening. This is my favorite musical of the moment; it's a musical unlike any other - it's an incredibly compelling story with rock music as part of its score. If you're interested in seeing the show, it's going to be at the Hippodrome from June 9 - 21. Once again, we've got a great hookup for getting a discount on tickets:
Save $10 on tickets!*
Use Code: GUILTY
*Tues., Wed., and Sun. evenings in price level II only. Not valid on previoulsy purchased tickets. Due to the nature of live entertainment; dates, times, performers and prices are subject to change.

Hey all, I was wondering if I could get some input before I make my college decision. Is anyone here have/had an Elementary Education major? If so can you tell me some pros and cons that you experienced/are experiencing while aiming for your degree? Thanks!

So my two roommates and I have been apartment hunting for a month or so. We found this awesome-looking place called Walden Circle, but I later learned from someone that it turned into a very bad neighborhood at night. (Someone was shot and killed 50 feet from his front door, etc etc.)
I decided to ask y'all about the places we've found. Just for another opinion on things. :3
Is Walden Circle still bad?
How are Westland Gardens?
We're also looking at Selford Townhomes.
Lastly, there's a vacant townhouse 1209 Elm Street in Halethorpe that we've been looking at. Is that a nice area?
Thanks for your tips!

Holla!
I am poor, and I sold my electric guitar, which led to wonder why I still have my sweet ass guitar amp. Anywho, it's a fender hot hod deluxe, sells new for 850 or 900, I am willing to sell for 600 obo. I will consider musical trades (plus like 200 cash)..
Any questions?

Hi there UMBC! If I hadn't moved from Linthicum (its just on the other side of I-195), I probably would've wound up going to your school myself, and I do have a few friends that will be graduating there this May. Congrats to all of you who are!
My name is Jenifer, and I've just started a new community called Pre-Med Headaches. Just like it sounds, its a community for pre-med students (or those looking into the medical field) to come together and talk to each other about, at the very least, the headaches of being in this field. We're all on this long, hard path together, why not share our experiences? You can access it here: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) premedheadaches and joining is open to everyone who has anything of interest to say to the pre-med community.
I'm sorry if this post is spammy ;.; But I really hope to see some new people in the community, especially some other people from the Baltimore area!

Does anyone know why the "Degree Audit" feature of myUMBC is utterly broken? And, more importantly, if/when it is going to be fixed?
I ask because I'm supposed to graduate in May, and everything on my Undergraduate Progress Report was filled, but now that we've switched to this Degree Audit, it's telling me that I'm missing things I took many many semesters ago. Really, all I want is to graduate here.
Thanks in advance, and happy Spring Break.

Does anyone know what would actually happen to you if you get caught with a cat in Walker, provided you've kept the apartment extremely clean and damage-free? (By clean I mean more than the obvious "no cat messes"... I also mean daily vacuuming with a HEPA vacuum to keep down allergens, etc etc.)
The lease says you'll be fined and possibly evicted or suspended from school. I know it must depend on the RA, but will you really be evicted/suspended? How heavy are the fines?

Hi all! I have a desktop that I'd like to sell. I'm flexible on price so make me an offer! E-mail me at kasei21@gmail.com if interested.
Here's my ad:
Hello! So by now many of you should be aware that you can no longer buy Windows XP either as stand alone software or preloaded on a machine. Please refer to this article for verification:http://apcmag.com/windows_xp_to_be_phased_out_by_years_end_despite_customer_demand.htmGood news: I have a Windows XP Pro machine I want to sell! What you are buying: OS: Windows XP Pro RAM: 1 GB DDR PC 2700 HDD: 80 GB HDD partitioned into 1 70 GB partition and the other 10 GB CPU: Pentium 4
Manufact: Dell Model: Dimension 4600 Monitor: 15" Flat Panel Monitor (this can be upgraded) Other: I have installed Service Pack 3 and the latest Microsoft updates as well as included the 2003 version of Microsoft Office Small Business Edition. They are both activated so you are buying a legitimate copy of both XP and Office. I have all of the original discs that came with the machine. You will get all cords with this machine. I have wiped the HDD using DoD erasing software and restored the operating system so it's like you are buying a brand new machine. I also tested all hardware and everything passed on the machine. This was my parents' old machine and it was just used for e-mail/Internet surfing so very little wear and tear on the unit. Unit is in like new condition. I have attached a picture of what the machine and monitor look like.
