For anyone beginning the Masters in Economics program this fall, we have a Facebook group now! https://www.facebook.com/groups/925100984244474/

Thats great the couples apartment is such a good deal! Fingers crossed for you to get it. I did my undergraduate degree in Lugano. It is truly beautiful there! I'm in very much the same mindset I left Hawaii when I was 18, so I haven't lived in same country as anyone in my family for about 7 years! Thankfully, my sister is living in Lugano now, so I'm just so excited to be so close to her. Anyway if I remember correctly, we should be hearing about the housing results later this week? Do you think they will actually wait until the 28th to tell us? Hope its sooner rather than later

Yes I wish we knew already too, would make things easier. I'm originally from Hawaii, though since I'm living in Ireland at the moment I suspect that is the address they will use to assess how much I need student housing, which isn't great but oh well I'm confused on that as well, since all of the housing information on the website says there is a selection process based on those criteria you mentioned, but that email clearly says it's first come first serve. I (rather selfishly) hope its the later of the two, but its anyones guess at this point. It is great they offer couple's apartments as an option for you! Have they given you any indication on the availability? Also, I see you are originally from Switzerland? Where exactly? I spent three years living in Lugano I couldn't be more excited to move back!

Grad888 thank you! And yes I did, did you as well? It's really nice they only take a few weeks to tell us if we've gotten a space.

Hello everyone, I was admitted early decision to the Masters in International Economics back in December, and I waited about 45 minutes to accept so I hope to meet you all in Geneva this coming fall. I had applied to the same program last year but was waitlisted initially, so I'm currently attending Trinity College in Dublin for an MSc in Political Science. I couldn't resist enrolling in a second masters program once IHEID admitted me, it's the perfect school for what I'm interested in doing. Anyway, since I went through the process with IHEID last year as well, let me know if you've got any questions and I'll try to help if I can. This is the link to the forum for last year's admissions round that I followed (it's for a few different programs/schools, but there's quite a bit of useful discussion focused on the various programs at IHEID): Hope some of the discussion there can be useful to you, especially when it comes to decision time. My best wishes to you and all the luck in the world to those of you who are still waiting to hear back.
