Even though I got a room at I-House (and I applied directly to I-House for that one, not through UAH), I e-mailed the GSAS UAH liaison person a few days ago and they answered that final housing decisions would be sent out mid-July... so perhaps by next week, you'll know. I hope that helps.

Yes they are! haha I was offered a room in a 3-room apartment! Thanks for asking!

Hi, YES, I am definitely interested in the community aspect of I-House. I was an RA since my sophomore year of college, so I have always lived in such an environment and it would be something I would love to continue (they also have a leadership program for women, which is awesome). There is just so many things at I-House that I would love to get involved in. I really hope that did come across in my essay. And you are absolutely right, I do hope I'll get a spot over someone who doesn't care about the diversity of backgrounds and community living that I-House offers. Although I would consider myself a good resident for such a community, I'm still scared that it all didn't come across in that one page statement. But they will let me know on July 2nd, so we'll see. Congratulations on your PhD admission. In what field are you going to be conducting research?

Thanks for the info.. if you don't mind me asking, are you in the GSAS or in another school? I also applied to the I-House, let's hope they'll have a spot for me there. I heard renting for non-US citizens is a nightmare in NYC and since I can't go back before August, the housing situation is really starting to freak me out.

Hey, incoming MA Human Rights Studies with a focus in International Security here. Is anyone else in the program? I'm an international student so I really hope I'll get university accomodation. Has anyone heard back from UAH so far? According to the portal, my application isn't even under consideration by GSAS yet... I can't wait to meet the grad community in late August!
