Hello! I paid the $500 deposit and received a confirmation email a few days ago. Is there anything else to do to confirm my seat? I am feeling nervous that somehow it didn't go through haha, and there seems to be no other way to confirm that I accepted my seat. Thanks!!

Yes! You do need to turn in your transcripts. I believe there should be a checklisted attached to the acceptance letter that should have everything you need. I think i still have it if you can't find it! If you are ever in doubt, you can always email, I also was paranoid and emailed to confirm and they were super nice!

I posted on the facebook page as well, but I’m looking for somewhere to live next year if anyone knows of a place. I would love to live in historic urbana with other girls, so feel free to message me!

Hi everyone my name is Kaila and I am from the class of 2028. I just wanted to jump in here as I’m looking for 1-2 roommates to share a spacious 4-bed, 3-bath house. Rent will be $505 to $675 per month, depending on how many people we have, plus utilities.

The house has a fenced-in yard, and tons of space. My current roommate and I both have pets, so if you have any, let me know so we can make sure they'll get along! There is no pet limit or fee. The landlord covers lawn care and trash/recycling, so no cost there.
It’s a great spot, just a 4-minute drive from Vet Med. Move in would be around July first.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out for more details! 😊

Old listing if you wanted to peak but some rooms have changed!

I want to congratulate all of you on making it this far, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions (housing related or not!) 🧡💙

Hi! I was wondering if you found roommates already or if you were still looking! Would love to talk more, feel free to message me!

Hi Illinois Class of 2029! My name is Kit Clayburn. I am the class president of 2028, and will be acting as your interim class representative. I am one of the three elected positions that will be helping you through your transition into vet school! I wanted to let you all know that we will give you the link to the Unofficial Facebook group during the week of April 21st. We have our midterm exams the week of decision day, so we are going to be studying hard during that time.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please let me know or ask in this group. Current students are always available for questions! The Facebook group will have a lot of resources on it as well!

I also wanted to note that it is the “unofficial” Facebook group because it is run by students and does not have anything to do with the administration at Illinois!

Hey! Where should we be on the lookout for this facebook group? Will you be posting it here?

Hey guys! I am currently looking for one more roommate! The house is a 3 bed 2 bath. Rent is $650/month and that price is locked in for the next 4 years (cannot go up). The house has designated street parking right in front of the house that would be just for the new roommate. It also has a large fenced in backyard, in unit laundry, is pet friendly, an 8 min drive to the vet school, in a great safe neighborhood, and owned by a friendly and attentive private landlord. The house also has a semi unfinished basement for storage and we have plans to create a home gym down there! Id love to share photos/videos of the house with anyone interested as well as a little bit more about myself and the other roommate! Feel free to message me on here or text me at 214-909-9022.

Do we have to schedule for classes or is there a set coursework?

Hi Illinois Class of 2029! The unofficial Facebook group has opened! I will provide the link here. You should also be getting an email sometime this week with the link.

Has anyone heard anything about when the OOS waitlist might start moving, or has it already? I'm anxious now since the April 15th deadline has passed and I still haven't heard anything 😬

Yes, it's in the to-do list they emailed you with instructions.

They start pulling people after the deadline, so you could hear at any point between now and the start of classes. I'm not sure how much the waitlist moves each year, so unfortunately it's just more waiting. Best of luck!

Does anyone know if we're supposed to receive an official letter of acceptance? I'm trying to get graduate housing and they're saying I need to send them that letter to confirm that I'm actually going to the University.

I believe I got one in the mail, but it was more or less the same as the email we received.

Yeah I emailed the person both the letter and that email and she still said that those weren't "acceptance" letters and that I should still receive one. So I guess we'll see.

My snail mail letter literally said in the opening line "congratulations, you have been accepted to the university of Illinois veterinary medicine class of 2020". If that doesn't count, I can't think of what would.

I would give them a call and ask specifically what they're looking for.

Side note: I only knew two people who lived in the graduate housing on campus and they did not like it at all. Just as an fyi

I agree. I don't see how the email or letter wouldn't count. That's really annoying

Maybe email the school/ASA then? It seems weird that the housing people can't just look you up on their end, especially if you already have a school login and whatnot. If that hasn't been set up yet, maybe that's the problem?

I already set up the netid thing and have my own UID. I'm gonna contact ASA and see if that whole letter of acceptance is really necessary. Hopefully it'll work out.

Has anyone heard about anything from uiuc waitlist?
