Hi,
Newly accepted! I was wondering… how do we know when to move to New York if we don’t know housing until July or August? And in the case we don’t get dorming, then do we have to scramble to find apartments at the last minute? Slightly confused at what previous/current students do! Thank you.
Once you are given a housing assignment, they provide you with a selection of move-in dates. When you filled out the application for UAH, you selected three periods of time that you would prefer to move in around. One of these three periods of time - and this is assuming that you are even granted UAH housing, of course - is when you should plan to move to New York. I am in a similar position, as are many other students I imagine, so I completely understand your concerns - but yes, that’s likely what will you have to do. The university provides services for OCH, which I imagine are pretty helpful, so there’s that to rely on. But otherwise, this is the unfortunate reality of being a GS student - no guaranteed housing.
