    Congratulations on finding a place to live! I am looking for a place in Charlottesville, VA, while living in the Midwest. My husband and I (I guess foolishly) were counting on getting grad housing through the University, but we've been on a perpetual waitlist. Even though we applied literally on the day the application became available. Bleh.

    I'm bumping the Charlottesville topic because I'm super in need of some tips! My husband and I are in something of a housing pickle. We had been counting on getting into UVA housing, but we've been on a perpetual waitlist even though we applied THE VERY DAY the application became available back in April. We are moving to Charlottesville in roughly five weeks, and I keep striking out in my housing search. My husband doesn't have a job in Charlottesville yet, so our income is too low to qualify us for Affordable Housing. However, every other decent rental is almost surely outside our current budget (we'll be living on my stipend to start out). So, does anyone have any tips for apartment searching this late in the game? Any advice or encouragement is much appreciated. ?

    Got my unofficial rejection from Indiana a week ago after I emailed to check the status of my application. Toronto is the only program I haven't heard from now, but no matter. UVA here I come!

    @theprincessleia, that's great! And if you come here, you can be sure that you'll have some automatic friends and allies in the GEO!

    Additionally, one of my current colleagues was accepted to their "Religion, Textuality, and Cultural Imagination" track, and he did not have an interview. I applied for the South Asia track, and absolutely no word so far. The FAQ on their admissions site says that they notify no later than early March, so I feel like it could be any day now if that's true.

    We managed to get a provision in the new contract that allows us to make up any hours missed during the strike and thus not miss any pay! So, I'd say the majority of us will end up no worse for wear financially.

    Thank you so much!!! I'm so relieved and so happy to get back to teaching! For anyone who's interested, especially if you're a prospective UIUC students, here's an overview of the contents of the contract: http://uiucgeo.org/2018/03/09/information-about-the-tentative-agreement/ And, in case you're wondering, we got the guaranteed tuition waivers for TAs and GAs.

    Thank you so much! Update: Bargaining has been going on all day today. I don't know when we'll have a real update. However, I thought you'd all like to know that a contingent of grad employees and faculty are currently occupying the hallways outside UIUC's President's and Chancellor's offices. They have set up camp and will stay there until a fair agreement is reached!

    Latest update: The union and admin bargaining teams began a bargaining session at noon (central time) today. I'm assuming they are still at it as I type this. If we have no contract and no vote to end the strike tonight, then the strike will continue into tomorrow.

    Does anyone want to claim the IU acceptance? Did you have an interview? (Congratulations, by the way!)
  26. Sanskriti Prakriti
    Thank you! I think we're rocking it so far!

    Still haven't heard from Indiana. What about anyone else? A colleague of mine was accepted to their "Religion, Textuality, and Cultural Imagination" track, but he hasn't posted it in the Results Search.
  28. Sanskriti Prakriti
    Just so everyone knows, the UIUC strike is on TODAY! Let's hope for a fair contract soon!

    I too just received my "I regret to inform you" letter from Harvard Religion. I have an acceptance from Virginia, though, and I'm still holding out hope for others!
