Hello everyone,

I hope that you're having a great week - I just finished my last assignment for the week and at 7:45 PM on a Thursday, that is AWESOME!!!

Anyway, my last entry concerned finding housing in Boston and I received a great question that I felt warranted a follow up blog entry. The question regarded housing while on coop - what do NUSL students do if they're cooping out of town?

Well, as I think I mentioned, I have done all of my coops in the Atlanta area and my husband and I own a house there. So, what does that mean for my Boston housing when I'm away? Well, fortunately for me, my roommates have never charged me for my vacant room while I'm gone. So, my situation is not typical. What most students do at NUSL is sublet their apartment/house to law students on the other rotation or they simply pay rent while they're away (not the preferred option in my opinion).

I even know of one circumstance where there are four people who live in the house and two of them are on the fall/spring rotation (meaning they are on coop during these rotations) and the other two are on the summer/winter rotation. They have signed a lease that ensures they coop out of town and for the past two years, their situation has worked out flawlessly.

So, don't fret if you're worried about housing on coop. It works out and NUSL students will help you work it out.

If you all have other questions, please post a comment to my blog and I will either comment back or address your question in another blog.

Take care everyone!
