Probably. Or at least a good place to work until I know the area better.
If I did, I could drop my resume off at interesting places and just ask them to call me next time there's an opening. I kinda did that at home, and got interviews out of the deal, so it does work.
Sigh.
One set of information, here at the department, says my residency status is granted. The other, at student services, says it hasn't been decided yet. I love it when people can make up their minds.
