i wonder how they allocate housing? sorry about the inconvenience. are you aware about the type of housing they offer for graduate students (besides the arbor and i-house)? do you know if the UAH application is for campus owned housing or on campus housing? I jut hope whatever I got is walkable to campus or on campus.

there's a thread about '05 "columbia housing" and one member recently posted an ad about his current housing because he is vacating it this semester.

Hey, I also got my UAH application approved! I am waiting to see what kind of housing I'll be offered! I hope we 'll find out in the next couple of days!

@dorafel...congrats! do you know about the type of housing they offer for graduate students (besides the arbor and i-house)? was the UAH application for campus owned housing or on campus housing? I jut hope whatever we got is walkable to campus or on campus.

i just received 3 housing options!!! apartments!

but i'm not sure if its campus owned housing

nevermind. i think those housing options were sent to everyone.

@sensation. I believe the housing offered is campus owned and within a fairly good distance from campus (but not very sure). I have asked three friends that attended the MSAAD and all lived in shared apartments. In fact, they did not know any grad students that lived in dorms, all shared appartments with other grad students.

@dorafel.. that's beautiful. did they enjoy the conditions of the campus owned apartments? i spoke to one graduate and she said that they are nice.

@sensation. All three were pleased with their apartments. Especially the one who was lucky enough to get campus owned apartment in the campus!!! I also saw the apartment emails and freaked out as I was anxiously checking the first - I thought it was my offer! Still waiting though - hope I get a furnished one! We just got a group in fb, has everyone seen it?

@dorafel... really!! were they able to renew their lease for each semester? i saw the offers in my email and freaked out also, until i realized it had nothing to do with the lottery process.

i hope the housing we get is really nice and furnished, since it is campus owned housing! i didn't see the facebook group, but i did read an email sent by an international student from moscow about his facebook group.

@dorafel whats the facebook group called? I cant find it

Thanks!! I just received my housing offer! 3 bedroom apartment with one bathroom.. furnished! thank you Jesus!
