anonimuss Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Anyone? To live in the Graduate College, or not to live in the Graduate College--that's the real question. Thoughts?
purplepepper Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 i'm leaning towards accepting. Funny there aren't more people out there. The graduate school is a glorified dorm--if you like that environment go for it. I did that kind of thing when I was doing my MA and I loved it. But 1 year of it was enough for me and it's either apt. or i'll find my own this time around.
younglions Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I applied for the Old Graduate College and asked for a single or double without walk through. Anyone know when we will hear?
purplepepper Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Hey, ok. So from my understanding, we aren't allowed to move into housing until Sept. 11th, but have to be on campus for registration on Sept. 2nd? Anyone else in a similar situation? Should I call graduate housing and ask to move in early?
kfed2020 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Hey, Sorry to find this so late... I'll be in English this coming year. Are there really so few Princeton people here? I guess it's a pretty small school...

Anyone else in a similar situation? Should I call graduate housing and ask to move in early? If your department needs you to be on campus earlier than the the housing date so you can register, contact them for an Early Arrival/Registration form. That way they can forward it to Housing to get permission to move in early.
purplepepper Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Thanks for the advice FSIA. I can't imagine that I"m the only one in the incoming class that has applied to live in graduate housing, and I haven't heard a peep from my department since receiving an official welcome letter at the end of April. (where they mentioned in a half a sentence that I have to be present for registration, which begins on Sept. 2). Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait until more information is available? Hi, Kfed, glad to meet another one who is Princeton-bound! Did you also apply for graduate housing?
kfed2020 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I did. I'm hoping for the old GC, but new GC seems to be more likely. What is everyone going to study? English, here.
kfed2020 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 lol. Why are we the deadest of all the meet and greet boards?
purplepepper Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 lol. Why are we the deadest of all the meet and greet boards? haha. seriously. i'm in art history. my prof said that admissions was super tough this year so good job to us. our stipends are higher than Yale's too. by $250 a year. neener neener. I applied for apartment style housing... When I did my MA (at a different uni) I lived in graduate dorms, and while it was really great for the first year, one year was enough for me.
kfed2020 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Awesome. How much will get stolen from us in taxes? I'm okay with the GC. I just graduated from college (yesterday!) and am content to keep living like a college student. =)
younglions Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Has anybody received their Princeton NetID password in the mail yet? I see that my name/email/netid has now been added to the directory at princeton.edu, but I still haven't received the password. I believe that I read somewhere that our housing decision gets sent to our Princeton email address, so I'm eager to have access! I also applied to the OGC. Does anyone know when we should hear by? I have mid-June in my head, but that might just be wishful thinking.
purplepepper Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Congrats Kfed, on your graduation And no, I haven't received any mail from the graduate school concerning registration or setting up your email. I saw somewhere on the website that they'd get that stuff mailed out by mid-May, but who knows...mid-May might also mean late-June. I heard somewhere too about housing decisions getting sent out this month, actually I think I read that on this forum somewhere....hmmm. :? Well, I'm also anxious to have access, so I hope we get that stuff soon. I'm just still confused by the whole moving in date...Sept. 11th seems rather late...I hope it'd be possible to move in earlier than that.
kfed2020 Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks! Most of our communications with them this summer will be through email, according to Michelle Carman. Sept 11 isn't soon enough... What kind of stuff do you all study? I'll be in the English department, studying representations and performances of pain, nostalgia and mourning in 19th and 20th century American literary and visual culture.
kfed2020 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I got my email password! I guess that means it's official...
Dreams Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I got my email password! I guess that means it's official... Was there word on your fall housing assignment sent to your email?
kfed2020 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Not yet. I dont like the Princeton email interface... Still trying to figure out how to sync it to my gmail.
purplepepper Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 No way! Did you get it in the mail, or by email? Grr. I am living overseas though, so by the post could take a bit longer. But at least it's good to know things are moving forward :wink: Anything interesting along with email?
kfed2020 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I got it Saturday by mail. But I live in New Jersey, so I'm guessing I'd get it more quickly than someone overseas. =)
Dreams Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 No way! Did you get it in the mail, or by email? Grr. I am living overseas though, so by the post could take a bit longer. But at least it's good to know things are moving forward :wink: Anything interesting along with email? You can call them as of today and they will give it to you over the phone if you are feeling a tad on the impatient side
Dreams Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 According to Scott, graduate housing info will be emailed to student accounts beginning Friday, and continuing through Wednesday of next week.
purplepepper Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 You can call them as of today and they will give it to you over the phone if you are feeling a tad on the impatient side I didn't even think of that one. That's a good idea..if it doesn't come today in the mail I might give that a try. I'm so mentally clocked out of work and just waiting to get started in the fall, any bit of news from Princeton is exciting. Here's a question to put out there. If you guys had a choice, why did you choose Princeton? just curious...and hoping to start some discussion
younglions Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 FSIA - thanks for the great information on housing decisions. Hopefully I will get mine Friday. On Sunday I am going to go camping and won't have internet access for at least a week! Also, just for everyone's information, I live in the western half of the US and received my netid and password on Monday.
younglions Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I'm in the Woodrow Wilson School. ---- Anybody receive their housing decision yet? As of 3:05 Princeton time, I haven't received anything.
