Hearing that makes me slightly less freaked out. I'm so afraid that schools will start to contact me and I won't get the letter/email/phone call. I applied to the Graduate Center (CUNY), McGill, Yale, and UMich. I'm hoping any day now.

I'm starting to freak out because I have yet to hear from any of the schools I applied to....if you don't mind me asking, where did you apply (and hear back from)?

I'm not applying to musicology, but to theory programs. Good to see there's someone else on here playing the waiting game for a closely-related field.

Growing up about 20 minutes from Hofstra....It's totally not a college town, it's just in the middle of the middle-island burbs. (Ever hear of Levittown? It's like 10-15 minutes away.) Parts of Hempstead are a bit sketchy, but that's not the area by the school. Living expenses aren't as bad as they'd be in the city....but it's not super cheap either....If you're bringing a car you could always look into living in Long Beach (about 25-30 minute drive on the streets I think) where there's some reasonable apartments and lots of younger people (single school teachers and professionals...) There's other areas around like that too...

I see there's a lot of musicologists here...any theory people by any chance? I'm in an MA program currently and applying for PhD programs in the fall... (Sorry the post is short and maybe a bit off topic, I'm new-ish)
