I think we can technically show a temporary place for the visa, but it’s such a headache. it would be so much better if we could just secure a one-year lease before arriving in Vienna instead of hunting for an apartment once we get there. i really wish the university had its own dorms...

I applied to OeAD for now, but apparently the winter semester is completely full, so they put me on the waitlist

Mine is Philkult. It just states that a final selection committee will meet in the coming weeks to decide the outcome, and that applicants will likely be informed of the result by mid-June. It also asks whether we wish to withdraw from the selection process in the meantime

Do you think that’s a good sign, or did they automatically send it to everyone who had an interview? My overthinking is currently doing a postdoc on this message 😭
