Thanks for your prompt reply! I'm pretty sure I will have a car, but I was hoping to not have to dive to campus. Although 10-15 minutes by bus is absolutely fine with me! Do you live with roommates in Normal Heights? I'm hoping to only have 1 or 2 at most and definitely have my own room. I was considering scheduling an appointment with a real estate agent to help me find a rental while out there, or just to show me around in general. Would that be a good idea? If so do you have any recommendations? Or are most of the good rentals more private? Unfortunately I don't know anyone in the area. I'm going to be coming out in a few weeks to visit so hopefully I will meet some other grad students, but my program doesn't have a formal visitation weekend so I doubt I'll meet other members of my cohort.

Hi! I'm going to be moving to San Diego this coming fall to start a masters program at SDSU, however I have no idea of my funding situation quite yet. I've seen some posts above about different areas to live, but was hoping someone from San Diego could give a little bit more background on their differences. I'd love to live in a place that is walkable to restaurants, shops, etc. However, I also would love some peace and quite and not to be surrounded by a ton of undergrads. And will most likely be on a tight budget as well. I've come to terms with the fact that a roommate might be a necessity, does anyone have any particular advice on finding one? Any information anyone could give would be helpful!! I'm going to be flying out in a few weeks and would really like to check out some possible areas to live while there. Thanks!

Heard from the director of program at Clemson. They have sent out their first round offers and professors have notified their alternates so if you haven't heard anything then it's probably not a good sign. He was very nice and said they would update the online portal within the next few weeks. Best of luck with the other universities!

Could the person who wrote on the results board that they were wait listed at Clemson please PM me their POI?? And do you know if first round offers have already been extended?

Has anyone heard anything from George Mason, Portland State or Clemson?? I saw someone posted on the results board that they recieved an email about a phone interview- could that person share their POI please!! Thanks!

I'm new to the thread as I just found out about this AWESOME website. Pretty glad I wasn't on here while applying though, or my confidence definitely would have dropped. Many of you seem like you have EVERYTHING going for you, there's definitely some tough competition this year. I applied to 6 programs (5 PhD and 1 masters) and I think I'm going crazy waiting to hear back. Munashi (thanks for starting this thread by the way), I see you have 3 interviews so far, mind telling us where? I'm dying to find out if any of my programs have started making calls yet!
