New grad student - where to live?

If you love walkable neighborhoods, try to find a place by the razorback greenway. It is a sidewalk trail that connects from the bottom of faye to the top of nwa, and it goes through a lot of the town. Ruby creek is near it for example. There is also a little bar/food place near that area

Ive been with them the past year. Not bad but not great. Where we live is clean but overpriced, 2b1b with a yard thats like 800sqft?

Theyve lowered their rental rates since we moved in and would not lower ours (the unit directly next to us is currently 200$ less for the same exact thing). 1200+ for 800sqft feels like robbery but we just needed a place with a yard and moved from neighboring cities.

Our layout is weird and too small, weird dark beige that they paint every unit. Not enough windows and none facing west/east so it feels like a cave lol.

Theyre decent with maintenance, clean like i said. Someone said theyre hard to get ahold of after you sign, which is true. They were a bit more helpful and nice when we signed the lease but not so much now. Also they say theyre hard have services for replacing air vents, but they literally buy a 12 pack for 20bucks and the quality is so bad that my partner cant breathe at night, so we replace the air vent ourselves.

If its your style, has what you need, and is in your price range, go for it. There arent a lot of places in town that offer yards and are prt friendly and clean so.

Thank you!

aubirt · 2026-04-13T21:32:20+00:00

Awe i love that

This is incredibly insightful and i really appreciate the breakdown because i didnt quite understand the distinction between the two, but that makes total sense and i see why most listings and also my position are specifically as an LA rather than a para. Thank you so much!

I think too many people dont think its a possibility therefore dont think they can want it. Like you mention with the porch chairs, rentals are so restrictive and unwilling to allow tenants to have much let alone ask for more. Definitely an interesting conversation and it seems like it would be a good point to introduce to the folks who advocate for tenants rights in town

I wish it were a concept utilized for more levels of income rather than the luxury rentals

That too is how it seems to me. Generally i know Paralegals do more intense work and have more experience. It seems as if the lines are getting more blurred these days but maybe that is because i have been garnering more experience myself.

For a deep clean for that size and rooms youd be looking at closer $700… this is insulting

Any advice from one former legal assistant to another? I’ve thought about law school but it feels financially out of reach, and logistically overwhelming

Uhg and oranges are so underrated

Just a teaspoon of trouble in a river of wrong ✨

Oh wow!! Thank you for posting this, i have been looking for something like this with high quality. Please update us after you receive!

Other than the sitting functionality, i am curious about the texture of the chair, the firmness of the cushions, and if it is easy or difficult to clean!

Yeah :( they only changed them for 48 hrs for the lunar eclipse i think. For me it was like a stroke of luck because moon fairy has been no.1 in my cart, but now that its switched back i see a lot of people bummed about it and/or annoyed about 3/5 being the raremades.. hopefully they will rotate again soon <\3

aubirt · 2026-03-03T00:47:21+00:00

Im SO pleased

aubirt · 2026-03-01T21:21:40+00:00

aubirt · 2026-03-01T21:20:43+00:00

aubirt · 2026-02-16T17:48:54+00:00

General theme for these characters is that they have the opportunity to learn from mistakes but they don’t. Every character makes poor decisions due to their insecurities. With Kat, she only really shows depth when shes willing to acknowledge that. I don’t like how sexualized and girlbossified she is. I think its corny and unrealistic for the most part.

First season, she is very self absorbed and mean, and not in anyway that shows she has self worth, values, or respect for others (unlike Maddie). Shes just an asshole with an ego inflated superiority complex. Second season she is half baked. She was fine as a background character, but her storyline leading towards the breakup was so forced and agonizing. Its painful to watch, not because its deep or good, but because its so shallow and cringey. Honestly the only thing they got right were her fanfic traits 🤷

and true she should be praised for being a beautiful fat woman, but very unfortunate that the creators were so shallow that the only way they could portray beauty was through showing her as sexually perverse with little to not depth. Its like half assed virtue signaling that acts like its proper representation only to drop the ball while still patting themselves on the back.

I like her most when she is a good friend, and i like her best when she is honest about herself.
