Still waiting on housing. Maybe I'll get my assignment this week

Never got a housing approval e-mail -- I just got the assignment offer. It says we need to pay by 6/28, which is a Sunday. I wonder if that means ours is due Friday, the last business day?

By NYC standards, that's very big. You'll get a floorplan with the offer, but I just wanted to let you know in the meantime.

Re: Columbia Law School 2012!
Got my housing assignment today! On 118th, which looks really close to the school. It looks like my roommate is a 3L though, which is kind of strange. I guess that could be cool, maybe she'll share outlines with me or something?

Does everyone need to pay by 6/28? Or is your payment date based on when you receive your housing assignment?jpaul09 wrote:Never got a housing approval e-mail -- I just got the assignment offer.

"5 days after receiving your offer" is the deadline. I'm afraid that I have no idea how weekends are counted.jfab202 wrote:Does everyone need to pay by 6/28?

I'm so jealous. I asked for a big room and I only got 130 sq ft. What are you paying? If I may ask...

Re: Columbia Law School 2012!
I almost took an apartment in that building...pretty freakin' stylish reno. Fantastic kitchens/bathrooms!imchuckbass58 wrote:So, uh, not to be a douche or anything, but can I show you guys the place where I'll be living with a couple of friends from the city?
Floorplan: http://www.quickfilepost.com/download.d ... 58e9410d20
Some details:
-96th and Amsterdam (1 block from the 1/2/3)
-Doorman
-Laundry in building
-21st floor
-Unobstructed views of the Hudson
-Just renovated - marble countertops and stainless steel appliances
-$1150/person/month
I figured we might be able to get a good deal what with the real estate market nowdays, etc, but I didn't expect this. Sure it's a 10-15 minute commute, but in my mind worth it.
I got scared off by the ongoing problems between the TA and the management company. Feeling a twinge of jealousy now, though
Edited because I realized chuckbass might not want the name of his building on TLS...

Yeah, we heard about the building's "issues." My perspective was, however, that if the complaint was only that the management was unresponsive, that wasn't a big deal to me, since frankly, all NYC management companies are unresponsive.specialist73 wrote:

We were more concerned about the problem tenants, and actually almost backed out, but what reassured us was we independently contacted the people in our apartment right now, as well as a couple of other tenants, and they all said that 1) The people causing trouble on the 2nd floor had been evicted, and 2) They had no problems with the building, their neighbors, or anything like that. The few RC/RS tenants left are mostly nice elderly people who are either friendly or mind their own business.
We'll see how it goes....ask me in about mid-august. I figure if there are any problems I can just casually mention I'm a student at CLS and am aware of my legal rights (just kidding.....maybe not).

Sounds like you made well-researched and rational decision. Were I not living alone, I might have felt the same way...
Sigh. Those apartments are so damn nice. Enjoy!

I'm also in the 130 sq ft. club. I suppose that's pretty much the standard size for a NYC bedroom.Lem37 wrote:Also got 130 sq ft., and what looks like half a window. Sigh.whyamidoingthis wrote:I'm so jealous. I asked for a big room and I only got 130 sq ft. What are you paying? If I may ask...

I too am in the 130 sq ft club, but I've had worse so I am not complaining.

In New York, a window is not a window unless it can fit an air conditioner unit. I have my doubts about this one.yqsong wrote:Lem37 wrote:Also got 130 sq ft., and what looks like half a window. Sigh.whyamidoingthis wrote:frank_the_tank wrote:
