Anyone going to Massart/SMFA other Boston area schools in September?

[daryls87]

Hi guys,

I'm heading to Massart in September for their MFA program---I sent in my deposit back in March but haven't heard ANYTHING besides a phone call in early April about additional scholarship money. Is this normal? I guess I was expecting some kind of incoming student packet, an email address, a plan for advising and registration or something. Has anyone else going to Massart gotten any info? I have emailed the graduate department but haven't gotten a reply (probably they are between Spring/Summer semesters, so I'll try again in a week or two.)

Also, I'm curious how other accepted students in Boston and other metropolitan areas are dealing with finding housing. I absolutely cannot afford to live alone, but am unsure of how to go about finding a roommate safely, but with cities its my understanding that I should have housing sorted out sooner rather than later. Any advice? Or even better---any grad students in Boston looking for a female roommate?

Thanks!
