<p>I’ll be dorming. My bf said there’s lrobavly no open spots in suites because were coming the second half , but I’m remaining positive. I want to go for the cheapest option, a two person suite in Mahler or maybe a four person suite but I am conscious about that because girls can be very caddy . </p>
<p>*Probably

Sorry for the typos lol</p>
<p>@emart95 I know what you mean, getting a job will definitely be one of my top priorities. But for someone who doesn’t really know much about the on campus housing other than the small tour of the campus and the little bit of information on the website any kind of insight definitely helps me :)</p>
<p>@Rikki1 That was my main concern; that there would be few available spaces anywhere because it’s the spring semester, and I assumed that they fill up the dorms in the fall. </p>
<p>But we are applying for a school that has mostly girls attending, so ya gotta expect some sort of drama.</p>
<p>@ebs1995 I live 3 hours away from the city, so I could commute if I had to… but this chick needs to get out of this small town! The fact that the school is a few blocks from a MAC pro store has me ridiculously excited. But I’m sure it will be nice not to have to worry about finding on campus housing, and cheaper too :)</p>
<p>That is true . I kind of am not too concerned about it though because I just remain positive. If I lived close ; I would definitely commute but you also could save money by staying across the street . </p>
<p>I have a question. If i got denial from FIT, do i still have receive an e-mail from school or just receive a snail mail?</p>
<p>@lamjenn I don’t think they send rejection emails.</p>
<p>@Madzzz Wow, a three hour commute is long. For me it’s super close only 30-45 mins.</p>
<p>@Madzzz I live about the same distance and I don’t think I could ever commute. Especially considering how expensive and how unreliable/crappy the rails and buses are on Long Island. And @Iamjenn, I really don’t know. For domestic students, they usually only send them by mail and not by email at all. I would like to think for an international student that it would be fair to send their decision by email, even if they are rejected. It could take weeks to get a letter from NYC depending on where you’re from by postal so that would be really awful if they only send them by mail. Just relax and remain positive. You will find out soon enough.</p>
<p>@Iamjenn just remember you have 11 days left to hear back . </p>
<p>@danycam I know it is matter of survival, but I think there’s nothing I can do right now actually, because I need the documents and my aunt is going to send them today. Hopefully I’ll get them in Yes, MYFIT page just changed, and I think I will apply for housing as soon as possible. The thing about nagler hall is that you have to use the communal bathroom. </p>
<p>@danycam get them in 3 days** </p>
<p>I just really hope we all get in. I’m hating this wait now more than ever!</p>
<p>@emart95 me to seriously . </p>
<p>@Rikki1 Like we just need to know. It isn’t necessary at all. And I just need to know…now.</p>
<p>I know its not fair they make us wait like this ! </p>
<p>@emart95 December 1st is just a little over a week away. And I’m sure I’m not the only one who needs a bit of good news in their life. </p>
<p>@Madzzz It’s not so much that it’s so close, it’s just the fact that there’s no need to draw it out this long and I think this reflects really poorly on the school and that I’m such a sucker for putting up with this (and having applied 3 times now). The deposits are pricey and on top of that, I have to wait until I hear from FIT to give my back-up school an answer. FIT is my first choice and I can just feel myself totally screwing myself over as we speak. If I give the other school their deposit, I won’t have enough money when I hear from FIT to pay for their deposit. I would get the deposit back but what good will it do if it’s too late by the time I can get the money to FIT? And then with all this waiting, I’m getting anxious I’ll get rejected from FIT and on top of being really upset, then I have to worry about whether or not there are spots available at the other school still. It just sucks all the way around. The fact they do everything by snail mail, use a very outdated portal (at least for applicants), and decide to release decisions at this slow a pace doesn’t do the school any favors. Of course it has a lot going for it with its programs, faculty, and connections, but if they just switched to a rolling admissions process, it would make the school look 1000 times better. Just saying.</p>
<p>@emart95 I understand, that’s a very tough spot to be in. Have you tried calling admissions? I mean, it couldn’t hurt. At the very least they could give you more of an ETA, They might even tell you their decision if you explained your situation. </p>
<p>@Madzzz I have tried emailing admissions and have gotten nowhere. I’m one of those people who hate talking on the phone, especially if I feel like I’m pestering whoever I’m talking to which is exactly how I’d feel in this scenario but I suppose I could try. My mom keeps yelling at me to talk to them and I’m just like, “I don’t know how many times I can ask. They keep giving me the same answer.” So she threatened to call them and I’m like, “Good luck 'cause they’ll say the same thing to you too.” So I just feel like it won’t get me anywhere. I emailed the other school telling them why I haven’t submitted anything yet and to check their availability in my program and housing and I’ll see what they say. Once they give me an answer, I can send out a call to FIT at the beginning of next week. I honestly believe we will find out before Thanksgiving. And I would be willing to bet money that we will BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY AFTER THESE DAMN DEPOSITS lol. So we’ll wait and see if my prophecy comes true. And it makes more sense to me anyway that the international students find out late last week/early this week, and domestic students are notified the following two weeks by mail and email.
I just wish they didn’t all act like everything is top secret. I emailed them last week asking how much the deposits were and the deadlines because I couldn’t find any information on the website (I later was able to). The response? “Admissions decisions go out December 1st and all accepted students will receive a packet with more information.” That didn’t answer my question! Like, a decision for me has been made and it doesn’t have to be a secret, good or bad.</p>
<p>And sorry to everyone for rambling. All this frustration has just been pent up for too long I guess.</p>
