Also, importantly, a significant number of School of Continuing Studies classes are held in…Clarendon! Seriously, check it out for yourself if you don’t believe me. Go to MyAccess and search for classes in something like Professional Studies: Public Relations and Corporate Communication or Professional Studies: Technology Management. Under the course location, you get Clarendon 229, 238, 240, 250A, 250B, 250C, etc. You also have some classes designated “Class will be held at 3307 M St, Ste 202.” I’m glad that the neighbors are so concerned about increased congestion on M Street and the Orange Line.

Noooo, don’t edit the form letters! Leave them exactly as they are, and preferably send them all together in one envelope so that it will be easier for the person actually going through them (who, by the way, is likely either an unpaid student intern or a student employee at DeGioia’s office) to make an address spreadsheet. That way, you’ll get your form response letter that much quicker.

I don’t understand how they can so pig headed in ignoring perfectly reasonable responses to their objections. This blog alone has been preaching the “they’re grad students” response for weeks and I’ve yet to see a reasonable response to that.
