HandsomeNerd Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 So who's bound for Gtown this fall? HandsomeNerd 1
HandsomeNerd Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 I am! What's your program? I'm doing an MA in Arab Studies. nice! i'm headed into security studies. when are you guys starting to look for places to live?
berlino Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I'm hopefully heading to Georgetown in the fall (Arab Studies)--I'm waiting to get final notice about financial aid. But I'll be in DC for the summer too. What's your intended concentration, Crimson?
berlino Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I'm doing Culture and Society...what about you? Almost certainly Politics, though I'd like to do some Culture and Society coursework (my interest is on identity).
berlino Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I'm exactly the opposite...I want to focus on Culture and Society and take some courses in history and politics (perhaps 2 each). What level of Arabic do you think that you'll be placed in, or maybe do you think that you'll place out? I'm aiming for the Advanced classes. I actually took the placement exam already, because I was considering taking the summer sequence as a refresher (though I ultimately decided to save money and just work), and I was placed in intermediate. Which is fine by me, I'm somewhat rusty, so I'll definitely be glad to start intensive classes again, no matter the level. Out of curiosity, what's your background? I'm coming directly out of undergrad, having focused on the politics of the Gulf.
MDarwish Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 MA in Arab Studies (Culture and Society) as well! I'm exactly the opposite...I want to focus on Culture and Society and take some courses in history and politics (perhaps 2 each). What level of Arabic do you think that you'll be placed in, or maybe do you think that you'll place out? I'm aiming for the Advanced classes.
MDarwish Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Where are people thinking about living? A friend of mine (who's also starting the Arab Studies program) and I have been looking at places in Rosslyn, but I'm stuck in school for another two weeks and she's on the other side of the county, so we're not sure when we'll get to seriously look at getting a place.
condraj2 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I'll be there this fall for a Masters of Arts in Security Studies under the SFS. Anyone else in the same boat? I'm starting my housing search as well, so it would be neat to maybe connect with some people in the same program (as long as you're not a psychopath!) Thanks, Jon
HandsomeNerd Posted May 2, 2011 Author Posted May 2, 2011 Hey Jon, I'm inbound for SSP this fall too. Have any of you guys checked this out yet? I got an email this morning from a prospective roommate in Mt. Pleasant/Colombia Heights.
berlino Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Okay, so it looks like Georgetown is a go for the fall (I wasn't certain before, was contingent on aid). Now I'm wondering too about housing, especially since I will also be in DC for the summer. How do people intend to go about that search?
HandsomeNerd Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 ^ http://roommate.gu.och101.com/. has anyone set up their georgetown emails yet? i got my web-based hoyamail up and running, but keep running into password/authentication problems on thunderbird/macmail...
TheBigHunt Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 ^ http://roommate.gu.och101.com/. has anyone set up their georgetown emails yet? i got my web-based hoyamail up and running, but keep running into password/authentication problems on thunderbird/macmail... Really? I haven't heard a word from them in awhile. When/ how did they send you info about setting up your Georgetown Hoya mail?
Pictureit24 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I'll be attending Georgetown in the fall as well. I did get my hoyamail set up but I was never sent any information about user names, email, passwords-- I had to call and speak to couple people before someone gave me the information over the phone. Strange if you ask me.
BryanJ Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Has anyone received an official offer for FinAid?? I got an email from FinAid with an offer in April, but when I go into Student Access, nada! I wrote them an email a MONTH ago asking what was up and only got an auto-reply the day of stating that they were really busy and not to send another email till I received a response. What the crap?

Mine was online a while back and I applied pretty late in the process, so I'd definitely follow up on that.
