    Asian Art

    Hi everyone! I'm interested in Medieval Japanese art, and would love to meet some new Asianists. Is there anybody else out there? (China, India, Cambodia, whatever!).
  3. @techart I have been accepted to one university without going through any interview, so they don't seem necessary in all cases. Have you been in contact with all your POIs?
  4. I did! The DGS sent me an email inviting me to a Skype interview this week with two faculty members not related to my field. They want to see who I am as a person.
  5. I've only been invited to a recruitment weekend just today (Michigan!) and I'm hysterical. I also love Mahler, though.
  6. I was wrong, I'm really sorry! I misunderstood something they told me, but I asked and they confirmed it's until April. I'm taking it anyway, because renting from abroad can be a nightmare and I'm hoping I'll meet more people this way.
  7. There was a class in Berkeley, but I think it belonged to the East Asian Studies Department.
  8. It looks like you take the apartment for the year, but you can leave before the second semester as long as you follow the rules regarding notice (I believe it's 40 days or so, each semester has a deadline). So I might do that if I find something nicer that fast!
  9. I'm from Spain! I'll be starting my PhD in Japanese Art History at the Ohio State University Cheers!
  10. When I was living in Berkeley in 2011-12, I paid 800 for a room in a house with 4 more girls. A friend of mine paid 650 for a SHARED room without a bed, just two mattresses in the floor. So yep, hella expensive over there.
  11. HI there! Where in Europe are you from? I'm from Spain I've decided to move into the Neil Ave Efficiency apartments, at least until I get used to the city... It's really cool your SO is gonna be there too, I hope mine comes eventually as well (although he will have to get a job and a visa of his own...). Looking forward to meeting you all!
  12. I'm an amateur, I'm singing with my boyfriend all the time but won't dare to say I'm good at it I can play a few things on the guitar, and I'm hoping to get better. I must find people to go to gigs with, though!
  13. Hi! Great to hear from you! have you started planning your arrival?
  14. Hey! I'm from a different major, but if anyone wants to meet people going to OSU, I started the Meet & Greet post... It'd be nice to hear from other people
  15. I think you should be careful about talking about Europeans BA's. They still differ greatly in the different countries.
  16. Hi! Thank you both for your advice. I had already been checking out that thread, but just wanted to introduce myself with my status/thoughts to see if someone else would do it as well...
  17. anyone knows when can we expect rejections from U Penn? i just want it to be over.
  18. After sleeping it off and waking to a nice sunshine in London this morning (oh yeah), everything feels better. I really want to thank you and the previous poster for your kind comments and encouragement. I definitely feel better and I'm starting to feel very excited about OSU, too! (although the weather there scares the hell out of me, I'm from the south of Spain, after all!). I'm really glad I decided to participate in this forum, it has made the wait much better, and it ended up being an incredible support when dealing with rejections. And everything because you guys are awesome!
  19. Hi y'all! I'm planning to start my PhD in Japanese Art History at OSU next Fall. I'm going to be a Fulbrighter for the first couple of years, but after that I'll have a TAship and tuition/fee waiver to support me during the remainder of the program. I'm still checking options regarding housing. Never been to Ohio before, so I feel quite lost! I'm thinking maybe on campus housing might be the easiest option for an international student like me, so I can get to know the place better before hunting for a more definitive place. Nevertheless, I'm open to ideas, if anyone is looking for a housemate! So, anyone else going to Columbus?
  20. "If you get rejected is because something better is coming."
