I'm so disappointed... I also didn't get a room. Looking around at where we all come from, it would seem that we would get selected... There must be a lot of demand I guess. I've applied to two other university residences and am awaiting results... Though IHEID's accommodation would be ideal. Don't like the idea of a sharing a kitchen with so many people... Sigh.

Hi Kotsa, The same happened to me, my status just wouldn't change. I e-mailed admissions my bank transfer receipt and they changed the status immediately. I think that would be the most effective thing to do at the moment. Can't wait to know housing results!

Hi everyone! I was accepted into the Anthropology and Sociology of Development program. I am just wondering right now, does anyone know if 700 CHF is worth it for the student acommodation (considering how close it is to the Institute) or can you get cheaper in Geneva? Thinking of applying but a bit scared of that value as that would be half my scholarship gone already... I was told that if you live on french side housing is much cheaper, as some of you have mentioned too. However, I don't know if it will compensate what you end up spending on transport (as railway/transport fares in Switzerland are expensive in general compared to where I live right now). And does anyone know about this year's academic calendar? Might need to arrive in Geneva a few weeks before to look for housing around the area. Happy to be in touch with all of you!!! Hope we can help eachother out.
