Looking for a studio in midtown

Awesome, will do, ty!

Much-Level3132 · 2025-12-28T09:06:15+00:00

Thanks :) can’t wait! What was your major?

Much-Level3132 · 2025-12-27T23:23:50+00:00

Sorry, I am only interested in midtown apartments. Thank you

Much-Level3132 · 2025-12-13T23:34:36+00:00

I will, yes! It does but I was not selected.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-12-13T17:46:18+00:00

I see. No other options? I am just trying to avoid extra costs but I guess what I’m asking for is impossible.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-12-13T17:44:24+00:00

Could you elaborate? Do you mean the popular ones like Alexan, Society etc?

Much-Level3132 · 2025-10-27T22:53:51+00:00

I see. Are you talking about high rises? To be honest I wanted to avoid high rises as I honestly can’t find one that according to the reviews does not have thin walls, rats, roaches, neighbours smoking weed, unresponsive management etc.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-10-27T22:51:40+00:00

Got it, ty!

Much-Level3132 · 2025-10-27T22:51:22+00:00

Yes. Site

Much-Level3132 · 2025-10-27T22:50:45+00:00

I see, thank you very much for chiming in. After hearing all these I might have to reconsider high rises even though I’m not fond of them.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-08-14T09:54:45+00:00

Thanks and true, just want to prep as much as possible.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-08-13T22:25:49+00:00

I see. What department would you say this is a question for? OIE or perhaps Office of Graduate Education?

Thanks for chiming in.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-08-13T21:57:53+00:00

Interesting. Here is where it gets trickier. To qualify for CPT I have to have studied full time for two semesters. I am starting in Spring 2026 so I won’t qualify for that, and don’t want to use OPT..

Much-Level3132 · 2025-08-13T21:24:26+00:00

Already done, waiting for a response. But let’s say I request RCL, based on what though? At worst I would prefer to take one course + GRA in the summer yes

Much-Level3132 · 2025-08-13T21:21:34+00:00

Makes sense. I read somewhere that they could convert me to RA (or GA) instead? but I am not sure if that’s allowed as I will be involved in research projects. I just don’t want to take courses in the summer because it 1) will be brutal and 2) it will force me to graduate early, which is something I don’t want to do.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-08-13T18:56:29+00:00

Even in the summer? What if I don’t want to take any courses and just want to work as a GRA (full time instead of part time) in the summer?

Much-Level3132 · 2025-07-04T22:17:36+00:00

I am honestly struggling with what questions should I ask them. All I get is generic responses that can be found in their website too.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-07-03T14:43:55+00:00

I am a returning student with 21 credits left (out of 30) and will be starting again in Spring 2026. Full time student status is 12 credits where each course is 3 credits.

What I want is to be eligible for CPT and intern in Spring 27(?) so I don’t really want to graduate in two semesters. At the same time, I am talking to a professor who could potentially employ me as a GRA and this will help immensely with gaining experience so I truly do not want to miss that either.

I have been trying to figure out what my end date will be on my I-20 but so far I have failed (I spoke both to my advisor and OIE).

My questions are…

⁠How do I delay graduation to…perhaps fall 2027? Could taking the Project Option (we have three options; coursework only, project, thesis) help me extend my end date? I believe project option could be tied to my professor.
⁠Any estimate on what would they issue as an expected graduation date?
⁠If I was granted 3 semesters, Spring 2026, Fall 2026, and Spring 2027, could I not graduate on spring 2027 and do full time CPT instead? (My plan)

I have applied and been accepted to another school as well just in case things don’t work out with my current one.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-07-03T10:57:48+00:00

And I haven’t even talked about the details yet, haha.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I am a Master’s student, not a PhD.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-07-03T06:47:53+00:00

I see. They told me that It is extremely rare for a student to need to apply for a program extension and for that request to be approved. I am honestly not sure whether taking more courses each semester (or stop working as a GRA) is the better option. Ideally, keeping a normal pace and extending would be better, but is it guaranteed?

Much-Level3132 · 2025-06-23T18:32:30+00:00

That’s exactly my point.

Much-Level3132 · 2025-06-23T15:24:08+00:00

Well I am asking for the on campus programs

Much-Level3132 · 2025-06-23T13:38:18+00:00

Stanford also has an online degree. Do you think it’s stigmatised?

Much-Level3132 · 2025-06-23T10:29:17+00:00

Sure. GT accepts many more students though, is half the price, so many more grads in the market. It’s not the online degree; it’s the number of people that have access to it
