Lux Lex Pax Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I didn't see a thread for Princeton University, so I decided to start one. Is anyone else here attending in the fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuz Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Looks likely that I'll be there, though that may change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flcz Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soleil Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Me too do you have the graduate housing figured out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOSTZ Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm glad to see others too. I'll be starting in Mol Bio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

france2010 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I will be attending in the fall, PhD in French! Did you all opt for graduate housing? And if so, which option(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz.aldrin Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Me too, PhD in physics . I was told students may expect graduate housing contracts in mid July, but I applied after the April 15th deadline.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOSTZ Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi, I applied to Lawrence and graduate college. I wouldn't mind either of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuz Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I applied for the graduate college. It's going to be weird living in a catered college again - I've been in a share house with some friends for the past two years, and before that I was in a self-catered college. Plus I've never had to share a room before (though fingers crossed I get a single room). Still, I figure living at college will be the best way to meet people and make new friends.

kuz Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Got a housing contract offer today. Single room in the New Graduate College Now I just need to work out which meal plan I should choose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOSTZ Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I got the same thing. My choices did not include the NGC and I'm wondering if I could change it. By the way, I heard from the grad students there that they like choosing the 95 meal plan to have it as a back up in case they end up eating mostly outside.

LOSTZ Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Was anybody else able to get housing somewhere else besides the new graduate college? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codersarepeople Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yep I got old graduate college. Oops, I picked 190, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz.aldrin Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I got NGC as well. I chose the 95 meal plan. BTW we can upgrade our meal plan any number of times, so 95 is the safest plan to opt for. I read on the Princeton website that most graduate students choose this plan. However, I don't know why the meal plans are so expensive. The 95 meal plan amounts to almost $33 per meal, as opposed to the meal prices of $10-$15 for lunch/dinner at the same dining halls, if bought individually.

LOSTZ Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks for the info! I was initially considering block 235, but even then is $23 per meal. They are expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cost of the 95 meal/semester plan is for the whole year, which would mean it's just over $16 a meal (at least, that would make more sense).

LOSTZ Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 That does sound reasonable. That would make the cost per meal of the Block 235 close to $11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

france2010 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I got the walk through double in the old graduate college. I was pretty unhappy with this, considering I've had my own apartment for the past 2 years -- I called, and was switched to one of the annexes. I am thrilled! I'm also happy that the meal plan isn't required, as I think the cost is way too high (95 meals/semester @ 16$ a meal? Craziness). I'm very excited to move down and hopefully have great housemates!

LOSTZ Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Congrats! I called a few days ago and was told that I couldn't switch out of the NGC, I'm gonna try again tomorrow and fight my way to a room in the OGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
france2010 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Lostz, yes. At first that is what I was told -- but after some arguing, they managed to switch me. Although I haven't received the final confirmation -- so fingers crossed it actually goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doxie-chan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hey all! I was also placed in a single in the NGC. Just out of curiosity, what is it about the NGC that makes people want to jump ship to the OGC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOSTZ Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hi! There is nothing wrong with it, is just that you get more privacy in the OGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
