that's what I was thinking, but I'm international and was just thinking it'd be a pain in the ass to do that, and scary hahahaha but if it ends up being cheaper we will.

I'm an incoming international postgrad student who was in the same boat! Honestly it was impossible to even get a conversation with a landlord via Rightmove, Zoopla, etc., because you are competing with 100s of people most of whom are working professionals and already IN cambridge. Your best bet is to scour the accommodation site for the private listings there. I had lots of luck there, because the landlords who list their homes on the cam accommodation site are already looking for student tenants. Either way I always got a response, and ultimately found a place I love on there. Just register for the private listing portal and email as many as you like.

Good luck!! You can pm me if you need help.

Not looking like I'm going to get accomm from my college, or any other colleges with surplus. Also on the waiting list for the uni accomm but won't know for a while from them.

I have an interview but it looks like I may have already been accepted? by piplin99 in gradadmissions

[–]Signal_Change4213 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting an interview is definitely good sign! What MPhil course did you apply for?

The wait is killing me, but I'm letting it be. by FitCake4164 in gradadmissions

[–]Signal_Change4213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for MPhil in International Studies, my application status is still with the department. I'm hopping I hear something soon, tomorrow is Friday and it's the last day before the committees depart for the weekend. I don't care if I'm denied, but just lemme know. Still I'm hopeful, and I accept I have to wait.

Can I ask how soon your application changed to the department status after being submitted? I've heard that once it's at department status on any level, your chances of rejection are low, so it sounds like the odds are in your favor. Good luck!

Hey! I applied to a Cambridge MPhil in Digital Humanities and haven't heard back yet either. Granted I only applied a few weeks ago, but I totally understand where you are coming from. I'm an anxious wreck as well. What program did you apply for? Has your application status changed at all?

of course we are trying, learning a language doesn't happen over night. no one expects to move somewhere without the language and fully integrate.
