Oh that's great to hear! Thank you

Hi @ParentandGradStudent !! Thank you so much for weighing in I've sent in the application for campus housing. I read somewhere on this thread that the spots fill up pretty early (mostly on the day registration opens), although that was for the family housing units. Would you by any chance have an idea about the availability/competitiveness of the shared apartments?

As do I

Formally accepted UNC-Chapel Hill's offer

Hello! I'll be attending UNC-Chapel Hill this fall. I'm coming from South Asia. I'm not sure if this has been discussed earlier, but has anyone lived at/has some info on the on-campus graduate housing: its location, costs (in comparison to off-campus options), availability of amenities, safety etc? Any other info about the general experience of living there would be great too. Thanks!

Congrats @Cassifrassidy !!

@OceansAreBlue I haven't either. But it seems highly unlikely that its anything but a rejection at this point I'm afraid.

Thanks @punctilious! And I'm really happy for your husband's Harvard acceptance. Thank you for rooting for me, @M(allthevowels)H !! That waitlist notification was my first positive response in an otherwise crummy season and I guess that showed. This is my top choice anyway, so couldn't be happier! Congratulations @Noire et Étrange, that is amazing!!

Accepted off the waitlist at UNC-Chapel Hill!! SO THRILLED

Congratulations!!!!!!

@M(allthevowels)H congrats and good luck for CUNY!

Congrats @sarahchristine and @northwestnative !!

THIS. Exactly! I was holding out hope for the waitlist, but now that an MA acceptance is up, its quite likely they're done notifying all admits/waitlists.

@E. Coronaria and @hopeleslie !! Congrats to you guys!! I'm waitlisted at UNC-CH too! Fingers crossed for us all!

Hey! I don't have any info on CUNY, but just wanted to say I empathise SO much with fear of the immediate embarrassment part! But then I think that had it been a friend/family member in my place, I know I wouldn't think any less of their intelligence or abilities. So maybe others wouldn't either Maybe we just need to be a little less harsh on ourselves. Especially since the PhD would often be a lonely and exhausting experience. Gotta keep the self-love alive!
