If any of you guys end up doing SWSEEL and would like to sublet a cheap room from a fellow East Europe enthusiast (I'm about a 3 minute walk from classes), feel free to send me a message!

...just to add the soon to be director of REECAS at University of Washington, Scott Radnitz, has done a lot of work on Central Asia you might check him out.

Well, sadly I am starting to think about re-applying already, definitely not procrastinating as much this time! I think I am in much better shape though, as this time last year I had no idea even what kind of programs to look at. I am revising my list of schools; definitely reapplying to my favorites of IUB, Michigan and Harvard, but unsure where else to apply (subfield: Central Asia). I have been poking around on the websites, but if anyone has any insights on Stanford, Columbia or other schools (I am not interested in Georgetown, Yale, Kansas, or UNC) I would greatly appreciate it! Anyone else applying or reapplying?
On a related note, I am really looking forward to SWSEEL this summer! I will be studying Russian, please feel free to message me if you are going to be there too! I am also hoping to get a glimpse of their program as I was not able to visit earlier during the application cycle. I hope to meet Dr. Kenney, as I had exchanged some e-mails with him and he was incredibly helpful and seemed very kind!
You might check out University of Washington's Jackson School's Ellison Center if you are interested in Central Asia and the Caucasus also maybe Wisconsin. See you at SWSEEL!

Hello fellow Russophiles,
I have completed one full year of Russian and in the summer I will attend a Middlebury summer intensive. Since the month before the 2011-2012 AY began I have studied Russian for one hour a day every single day without fail. I also speak it literally every chance I get even if that results in a 90 second conversation. I feel that I know quite a bit for a person who has only one year of training.
That said I'm bored with just going over words over and over and looking at grammar exercises. What do you think of watching Russian movies with English subtitles? How much will that help?
I thank you for your advice (as usual) and I wish you all great luck!

You should sign up for Mixxer http://www.language-exchanges.org/ There are so many Russian speakers there dying to do language exchages over Skype I've found it overwhelming. Its really fun! I even got to meet one of the people I speak with when I visited Kiev last year.

@Elipschu! You may want to try OneStart as well. With the username and pass phrase you created you can go to OneStart. Once there, you go to classifieds and you can post an add there. People moving to Bloomington to study or people changing places usually check there. Good luck!
Thanks!

Hey! Two Graduate Students looking for one more roommate to fill their 3br house. We are a soon to be English PhD student and Russian and Eastern European Masters student. (There will also be a cat.) We are looking for someone who is laid back and social. We are respectful and passionate about our studies but also hope the house will be fun. The house is in a great location. Right on the Eastside of Campus. The number three bus is also right near us which can get you straight downtown or to College Mall if you don't want to walk/bike/drive. The living room is furnished. And the kitchen mostly stocked.
The lease runs August 7th 2012-July 31st 2013
If you are interested please PM a little blurb about yourself and past living experiences.
