Yes, also still hopeful! When will we see more movement? [emoji56]

I called, they said most of the movement happened already, and we should be hearing in the next few weeks... Very vague

Those of you waiting to hear, do you have other acceptances? Stony Brook is one of my few waitlist spots left and I don't have any acceptances so I'm really hoping for more movement.

Can any current students living on campus share some thoughts or experiences about living on campus vs. off campus?

I talked to some students about it at pre-orientation. One of them said, similar to undergrad, there are periodic room checks where apparently your entire suite has to be cleaned or else you get reprimanded. There's probably also restrictions on things like alcohol. I also know there's the possibility of having actual roommates, as opposed to just suite mates, and that they can be graduate students other than medical students. Honestly, I am not sure of the price to live there, but it seems better to live off campus. (Also, I believe if you are out-of-state, you need to live off campus to gain in-state residency.)
 
Thanks Svenson for your insights!
