InquilineKea Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Okay, so let's start this thread this year. As for me, I just got accepted into the Geophysical Science program, so I'm definitely going to visit sometime in March or April.

BrettSD Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'll be there in April to check things out. Even though I spent time in New England, this Southern CA dude is not looking forward to freezing to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyPants Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi! Accepted into the Humanities dept, will visit campus in April. I live in Chicago, so no weather surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Sisyphus Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've also been accepted into the Humanities department. There's a 97% chance I will be attending the MAPH program with a concentration in philosophy. I will be attending Campus Days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbert Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I was shortlisted for a PhD in the Department of Comparative Human Development, and I'm going insane watching the deadline for a decision steadily approaching for the other school I got in to. Anybody else involved with this program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snes Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yay! I'm currently trying to navigate housing. I'll probably do University-owned housing for at least the first year, since I'm unfamiliar with the area. I haven't gotten any materials through mail or email yet and so I keep doubting I actually clicked "yes"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dispositif Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Congrats, everyone! Divinity A.M. in History of Religions here. Just received my housing offer this morning. Anyone else hear back who's renting through UChicago? I'm on E Madison Park, which I wished I'd made time to see while I was visiting in late March. God, it was cold, and everyone seemed to neglect to tell me about how the winds howl through negligible cracks in the windowsills at night. Chilling, but even more endearing than I anticipated.

I haven't heard back yet, although I waited quite long (end of April) to apply for UC apartments. I've been fretting because I don't even have a student ID yet, but they just had commencement so I'm waiting until tomorrow to bug them. I haven't heard a single thing from them, actually, since I accepted their offer. *nervous laughter* I visited the area in February when they were in a warm spell and in April when they were in a warm spell so when real Chicago winter comes, I will die. I've started to watch Game of Thrones recently and hyperbolizing my fear of winter has come easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lm0324 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I heard from graduate housing this past Thursday. I think it depends on when you will move in. (I applied for an Aug 1 move in date.) The place didn't end up working for my husband & I so I turned it down -- going to try to find non-university housing. Hope that opens up an apartment for someone else who really wants grad housing.

I'm sure that it varies by school, but the Divinity School sent ID info out in late May which has really only been useful to create my UChicago email. Still waiting for the class schedule to be published, and the registration site won't even allow me to log on yet anyway. The CNET (ID) emails were actually attachments and were somewhat intricate, so I'm guessing your school also has to create individual attachments for each matriculating student. And I applied for grad housing in mid-April, so maybe you'll hear back soon. It's nice that the email also comes with pics of your specific apartment attached, so you know what you're getting yourself into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAH okay, I applied for second week of Sept. Good luck!

Humanities Division was all like "You'll get your ID in late May!" too but maybe they're still working through the pile. I emailed today anyway, but I wonder if anyone works the week after commencement. I'm starting to get the same nervous/excited feeling I used to get from January - April when I'd see "Inbox (1)"!

strangertimes Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi! I'll be attending this Fall as a CIR student. I'm posting to ask if any others here would like to go in on sharing an apartment together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Sisyphus Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 For anyone left in housing limbo: if it helps you to know, after waiting since April or May, I got a housing offer today. It's pricey but looks relatively nice, about 1 mile north of campus, and I have to accept the offer by August 3rd (trying to plan emergency visit before then). The lease would not begin until September 4th, though. I think I applied for a September 1st move-in date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wankerlust Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Bump. Can anyone advise what the campus housing is like? ^ Seconded... Also, does anyone have specific advice relevant to bringing a canine companion along to the windy city (e.g. dog-friendly housing options near campus)?
