prolixity Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 I've been up on the fence but they just awarded me another fellowship, and I think the hat is finally tipped in their favor. Waiting for wife to return from her visits before I make my final decision. Safferz and chaospaladin 1 1

prolixity Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Sent in my positive reply to GSAS today. I never thought I'd be in a situation where I could say, "Hi, I'm 28 years old and I live in a residence hall." Anyone else doing the residence hall thing? Safferz and chaospaladin 1 1

Although I'll be down at HMS, so I'm looking at Brookline, etc.

AlexM451 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 What resources are you guys using to find apartments/roommates, just craigslist?
eucalyptus Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 I'm heading to Harvard for Developmental Psych in September. Not sure what I'm doing about housing yet - if my boyfriend gets a job in the area I'll be looking for a 1-bedroom with him, but otherwise I'll probably try to get in on a shared house. It sounds like emailing current grads about housing is a good plan, especially if you want in on a shared house. That's what I plan to do, and I'll probably see what the two other incoming students I met at interviews are planning to do as well.
Zamis Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I will be at GSAS as well! In terms of housing, craigslist seems to offer slim pickings right now. I will probably contact grad students and try the University's housing office -- I believe they have postings for roommates, open apartments, rentals, etc.
mtey Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Hi all. I am going to the HSPH too My program is Biostatistics PhD. On 4/6/2010 at 11:51 PM, prolixity said: Anyone else doing the residence hall thing? I am gonna try it, so maybe see you there

I may be at HDS. I still have a few days to decide!

I also applied for the GSAS residence halls.. One of my 3rd year friends said it would be nice for the first year (she also said Perkins and Conant were a little bit better than the other two), and the rooms seemed ok to me. Still, I do not think that it will be easy to live in the middle of that many people - but I cannot go to Cambridge before August, so I just applied for the dorms..
