I'm just applying for the grad housing and hoping I get good roommates. I don't really see myself sticking around in the grad housing for more than a semester or two though. Hopefully living there will allow me to find some people who want to move out together to a better place. Really hoping I don't end up in a shared bedroom though. I want people to share a place with, but there's no way I could go back to sharing a room. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to ensure that doesn't happen. If that happens, I'd probably just reject the housing offer. Hopefully that doesn't happen, because I don't really have an alternate plan to find roommates. I guess talking to people within this thread might be a decent start?

Who else is attending Columbia this fall? I'll be in the Pathobiology and Molecular Medicine program!

I just accepted an offer to join Columbia's Pathobiology program, which will be at their Washington Heights campus. How is living in Washington Heights? I plan on living in the grad housing at least the first year. The housing itself seemed pretty nice, and its affordable and close to campus. Other than that though, i haven't heard a lot of great things about the area. I'm hoping to hear some more positive stuff from someone. What are some other neighborhoods that I may want to look into if I decide to move in the future? I don't really mind a commute but I'd prefer to stick to one train, which limits options I guess.
