Just got my assignment. Did not win the studio lottery, but I think I'll be pretty happy with the two-bedroom I got. UAH housing, unfurnished, gas and electric included.

And you only got the approval email yesterday, right?

Yup. Only thing of other significance worth mentioning is that I did specify a roommate. Not sure if that helps them make the assignment faster.

Also just got my assignment today after receiving the approval email yesterday. I'll be living in UAH housing (W 111th st) with 2 business students. Would've liked to have lived with law students but it's cool. To be fair, I didn't list a preference for law school roommates on the application.

Anyone else get approved with no assignment just yet?

Yep! I didn't try for a studio and I sent several additional preferences, so I'm thinking that could be why.

I sent an email with additional requests (two-bedroom instead of three for example) so that could explain the delay. Here's hoping we here back soon! Getting antsy.

Got my housing info today. Didn't get a studio but I'm pleasantly surprised with the monthly rate for my apartment share.

Just got my address too can't wait for the deets!! Can anyone give insight into how long it took between address and details email? Thanks and sorry for being greedy (for anyone still waiting for their address)

Couldn't have been that long for me because I was obsessively checking yesterday and I never saw my address before getting the email. So for me it couldn't have been more than 2-3 hours

Just got my e-mail! UAH, no address yesterday. Everything is pretty good except it's furnished unlike I requested, was really counting on not dealing with dorm room furniture.

If I remember from undergrad you can get housing to come take away the furniture you don't need.

I don't know whether this is still the case, but I definitely recall having read about people removing furniture in the Ask Columbia thread. Apparently they found somewhere to put it in the basement of the building. They still had to pay the premium for the furnished apartment though, but that might be worth it to get non-dorm crap.

The policy might have changed since that was written, and it might even vary from building to building. I would honestly just call and ask.

does anyone know what furniture is typically included?

FYI got my email today. No studio but price and location are A+.

Desk, lamp, bed from what I recall.

i don't think this is the case here. it might be different for law school housing / UAH but i asked and was told that the furniture could not be removed (and it seemed like they meant either by them or by you)

They were really clear with me that removal under any circumstances was not an option which I'm not really thrilled with.

Pouring one out for my friends stuck in furnished

I actually wanted furnished Bc I'm lazy and don't want to spend money or time buying furniture

I already have furniture so this is the wurst

[Bearlyalive]

I mean, I have to buy literally all my stuff once I get to the city, but my assigned bedroom is also massive and I'm really not OK with the idea of sleeping on a twin bed again. Queen + or bust.

This speaks to me on a deep, deep level
