  1. Thanks, guys. Also, I just found out I got an offer for Fordham's MA in History. I am declining this also.
  2. Hi fencergirl, If you were accepted for the History graduate program, you may want to email the DGS. He asked us to forward him our admissions acceptance confirmation email from the application portal when we received it. Also, we've got a Facebook group going, so I can PM you the link if you're interested!
  3. Declining: UNC Chapel Hill NYU (Wait list) Accepting: Northwestern
  4. Hey all, I received a response from NU Residential Services about graduate housing rent payments. There is a way to divide up the quarterly housing cost (from fall to spring) into a nine-month payment plan (link). Depending on your housing needs, you may wish to inquire if a monthly payment plan is available for the summer. I'll spend some time investigating if the rates for graduate housing are higher than nearby, off-campus housing. Ultimately, if I were on-campus, I would have to obtain a roommate to cover costs; if that's the case, off-campus housing may be a wiser bet for me.
  5. There is no guarantee that paying for an MA will provide a PhD program admit as a return. What courses would you take as a non-degree seeking student? How would they benefit your application? Definitely, spending the time to re-take the GRE would be worth it, and if you are able to invest time to gain proficiency in a foreign language, that would be wise as well. Is this your first application cycle?
  6. Here's some of the housing information I gathered from my correspondence with current graduate students: Half of the grad student population lives in Chicago; most of these students are in northern Edgewater or Rogers Park. Lakeview and Lincoln Park are also saturated with graduate students, but less so, since these areas are further from campus and more expensive. Housing near the Belmont stop in Lakeview should not be difficult to find as September approaches. If you opt to live in Rogers Park, it is best to live between the Loyola and Morse Red Line stops. This area is not part of the seedier locations of Rogers Park, and it grants access to both the Loyola library and the Sheridan NU shuttle stop. I'll inquire about financing student housing today via email, and I'll make sure to update this thread with more housing information when I get back from the campus visit.
  7. Hi all--I haven't accepted the offer of admission just yet, but I intend on doing so after I visit this weekend. I'm hoping to find some guidance on the housing search, since I've heard it can be quite the hurdle. I'd take the graduate student housing on-campus if the payments weren't bundled by quarter.
