SS: dayuuuuuum you columbia!

whitak24 · 07-01-2003, 03:22 PM

ok, i'm annoyed with the columbia housing office. i submitted my housing application back in april (the deadline was may 1 - i actually submitted the housing application before i committed to attend there).

i wait forever and ever to hear something from them. finally, they say we should find out starting june 16.

june comes and goes......nothing.

finally, i get an email today saying that i've been "approved" by my school (basically, i guess the law school FINALLY certified that i'm eligible for university housing). so now they're telling me i should hear something by july 23.

JULY 23?!??!! i need to move in the first week or two of august, and as of right now, i don't know if i'll be in a single, with a roommate, in a 300 sq.ft. dump, or what. i'm trying to schedule movers and get quotes and i don't know a.) how much i'm going to be packing or b.) where i'm moving to.

july 23 is just a crazy-late date to find out where i'm living.

the other thing that sucks is that i know other people have already started getting their housing assignments. which means that the chances of getting a good apt (ie a single) are probably extremely slim now. bastards

just remember, it could be worse, you could have stayed in Michigan

I would try to contact the housing office and tell them that you need this information so that you can make arrangements for your move. If that doesnt work, you might want to look into an apt or something.

In all reality, that is probably going to be much more condusive to studying in lawschool since you wont be bothered by all of the undergrad activities (I am assuming its not a special housing for the law school)

actually, these are grad/professional student apartments. probably about as good as i'm going to find (particularly at that price). once i've been around the area for a year, i might consider moving up to harlem, because i guess decent apartments can be found for a fairly low price up there....but i don't want to move there till i know the area.

good idea about calling the housing office. never hurts to harass them

Good luck getting a good apartment!

Tell them if they don't give you an immediate answer you're going to sue them.

update!

i finally got my assignment today. i got an efficiency on w. 112th, which means i'll be living alone (my preferred outcome). plus, i'll basically be across the street from the cathedral of st. john the divine, so that's some nice scenery.

now, for the packing/moving decisions......
