bbrown41788 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I interviewed at Nova-Orlando less than a week ago, and missed a phone call from V.Montgomery today. I tried returning her call with no luck, but now I am anxious. Who calls you if you're accepted and how long was it after the interview for you guys?? Thanks!

jnicosia Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 That's who called me, and they called me I think 5 days after my interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyrandall Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hello classmates! V.Montgomery contacted me as well today, i interviewed October 6th but I’m pretty sure the committee only meets every 3-4 weeks. I'm so excited and looking forward to meeting everyone! Also, concerning the deposit, does anyone know if this is due 2 weeks after the phone call or 2 weeks after the packet arrives in the mail? I may call tomorrow just to double check.

maryyygo Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi everyone! I was contacted today also, but I missed the phone call. Hopefully it is good new! I remember hearing at my interview that they do a meet and greet in the Spring .. can't wait to meet everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was accepted to the Ft. Myers program and the deposit was due two weeks after the LETTER. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flpac Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 I interviewed Monday the 17th and got my call on Wednesday, also from Montgomery. When I interviewed they told us that they only call if you have been accepted, so for those who missed the call - I'm thinking it's good news! I also believe that the deposit is due after you receive the letter. Can't wait to meet everybody! I have lived in Orlando for over 4 years so if anybody from out of town has questions about the area feel free to ask. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnicosia Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi tantekari, I'll be moving down from Boston and I just had a few quick questions that you may know the answer to. First, when is an appropriate time to start apartment hunting? Up in Boston you generally have to find places 9+ months in advance, and I know thats not true most places. Also, any neighborhood recommendations when I get looking? Also, has anyone started a Facebook page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMo9187 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I live right down the street from the Nova-Orlando campus right now. There's a bunch of complexes that are right across the street and next to the school but I don't recommend those (a young girl out running last year escaped an attempted abduction right around there and there's always people walking up and down those streets well into the night plus most of those places aren't gated). The only place I would recommend in that area is Aqua which is gated and has a large parking garage in the center of the complex. About 1.5 miles down the road is where I live in Heritage on Millenia which is on the other side of Conroy Rd. on Millenia Blvd. across from the Super Target. It is very quiet, gated, nice pool area, vaulted ceilings, and do not require a large deposit. It is one of the nicest communities in the area and actually allow big dogs (with breed restrictions of course). I've been here for a few years now so let me know if you have any questions! Oh, it is definitely not necessary to get a place 9+ months in advance. We were signed and moved into this place within a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flpac Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 jnicosia, you shouldn't have to start looking for apartments that early in advance. Sometimes you can get better deals on rent by looking early (especially for the July-August months when rent skyrockets) but there will be apartments available even if you just go looking a few weeks in advance. I don't actually live nearby the campus (Orlando is big, to say the least) so I'm not sure about apartments directly near the school so you should probably listen to KMo's recommendations there. At my interview Pauline did express some wariness about the complexes right next to the school and said there had been some safety issues, so it is likely best to look a little further away.

maryyygo Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I will probably be asking a ton of questions, as I'm from PA, quite a distance from FL! A facebook group sounds like a good idea, that way we can get to know our class a little bit! Does anybody know if the school will help us out with a roommate search or a meet and greet type event? I heard there was one in the Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicole31311 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If i remember from last year, it's up to you to find your own roommate if you want one, but the meet and greet, or making a facebook group is generally a great place to start doing that. I know some people really like living with someone in the programme (permanent study budy!), but there will definietly be time when you want your space away from the people you will be spending 24/7 with, day in and day out! Just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyrandall Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 hey c/o 2014! i'm trying to make a facebook group but i think you have to be friends with at least 1 person to add to the group before it can be made, i'm not sure if there is another way? has anyone else made a group yet?

flpac Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 It looks that way Emily. I can't seem to make one either without adding some friends to the group. If somebody wants to add me, we can get a group started: http://www.facebook.com/kariava Normally I have my FB page on privacy lockdown but I'll open it up for now so we can set up a group. :) Just let me know when you add me that you are a classmate. As far as roommates go, from what I can tell the nicer (aka, safer) apartments in the Millennia area are really expensive. So roommates definitely seem like a good idea!
