Still waiting. I must be calling at peak hours.

Just a heads up, the wait time for getting an agent at SATO is kind of ridiculous. I'm sitting here rapidly losing my last grasp on sanity from the repeating hold messages. Might want to call right when they open or right before they close.

Same here. And she was super friendly. I got a smiley face and she said that she was looking forward to seeing me in April, which suggests that the tentative offer isn't really that tentative.

Also got tentative offer for Japan. Anyone going to be near Nomi?

Hi all, I'm just starting to look for a place. May I ask what the "Brown graduate housing boards" are (as quoted below)? My current institution had a forum for incoming grad students to find roommates and discuss such matters, is this what the boards are? I assume my department's visiting day will be a decent time to look around and try to find roommates and such, but I don't necessarily want to live with people in my department... variety is nice. It also looks like a lot of people are looking at single bedroom places, but it also looks like a lot of nice places exceed the recommended rent-to-income ratio... having never lived alone, is it worth having a worse place to myself or a much nicer shared space?
