Hey,

I hope you will be admitted, but you have to know that receiving this forms doesn't mean you are. They will email you to tell whether or not you are admitted (Ireceived the forms before the email).

Concerning the flat hunting: When do you think going to Amatserdam?

@ mccgold & Miss S.
I have the same game plan. Arriving on the 25th and God help me :)
I don't want to ruin things for you mccgold, but so far I've asked many people for prices on housing and all said 300/month is the absolute minimum and it's not that close to the center (where the faculty is). I have set a tight housing budget myself :)
But I'm sure we'll manage. Besides transport is pretty decent in Amsterdam so distances shouldn't be a problem.

@ Miss S.: Oh, okay. I emailed to check on that since it seemed a bit odd to me. Let's hope they don't find my constant stream of questions too annoying. When do they usually confirm enrolment?

@ bullokk: I heard that €300/month was the minimum as well. And like you said, living somewhere like Pijp, Westerpark, Vondelpark, or Noord wouldn't be too bad considering the public transportation choices. Have you had any luck so far finding a private room?

Personally, I think some of us should band together and try to find a whole flat for rent - then simply split the cost. We'd have far more leverage with a landlord if there were 3-4 of us viewing together as opposed to a single student looking for a room. We'd get more choice, too.

I'll submit my housing application today, but I doubt it'll do any good.

two thumbs up for teaming up :)
we have a similar discussion in the facebook group;
besides a room on its own is twice more expensive than a room in a shared flat; I saw quite a few decent 3 room flats on different sites, starting from 1100 eur/month;
I've been sharing room with mates for more than five years, any single room now would seem like a palace to me :)))

Bullock, who are you on the facebook group?

Mcgold you are now in the group. About the email: they emailed me less than ten days after I sent my application. But how it comes you didn't have a reply yet, wasn't the application deadline on 15th may? If I were you, I would call them (cause like I said I am still waiting for a reply to an email I sent on 30th june...).

About the housing, let's continue the discussion in the group!

Thanks for the add into the group. The reason I haven't heard anything yet is that my application was lost in the mail. All the school received was one of my reference letters and my administration fee; nothing else made it through. I had to quickly prepare and send all my documents a few weeks ago, so they're still reviewing my application. At least I hope so.

Hi to everyone who has been posting in this forum. I am new to LLM Guide. I have been accepted to UVA to read for the LLM in international and european law; international trade and investment law track. I like most of you am waiting on word from the University on the Housing situation. Has anyone received any email confirming accommodation? I sent an email to the University yesterday seeking a status update but no response has been forthcoming. Generally I find the Administration takes a while to respond to emails. Is this just a problem for me or is this the general consensus.
Also, for those who need the MVV, has the University contacted you to say whether the application has been made yet? I sent all the required documents and the fee; the university acknowledged receipt of the same but I've heard nothing since.

Hey CSKC,

most of us were on a waiting list for the housing.
We are discussing this housing matter on facebook, a group has been created (check the pages before to know the correct name).
Bye :)
