I emailed yesterday admissions director got back to me today and told me due to the holidays decisions were pushed back and applicants are expected to hear back closer to mid February
No, I had completed all prerequisites before applying.
Spring as in January?
I think that’s what they mean. Spring semester.
I’m down! Definitely will be helpful being able to talk to people about the moving process and everything! 🙂
I would also love to be included! I have already paid my deposit as well!
Do you mind sharing how much it was?
not at all, the deposit was about $415 usd with taxes and other fees. I believe it ends up going towards your tuition as well which is a plus.
Thank youu
I haven’t made it yet. Do you think WhatsApp would work best for a group chat?
I would think that or groupme (?) honestly not sure
whatsapp may be best since we’ll have to use it on the island anyways with landlords, other students, etc!
hey! i am also incoming but the guide made by dr kilgore is super helpful combined with some sdn and reddit forums 🙂 im trying to find the actual pdf now, otherwise i have it imported into my google drive so lmk if you want access to it - hopefully i or someone else can find the pdf link so its accessible to everyone that sees this
maybe this will work!
Thank you so much! I was unaware this was a thing! I’ll look at it today, I appreciate the help! and Whatsapp group chat works for me!

Hi! Current 3rd year SGU student here! For apartments I had better luck with private landlords, especially for finding more affordable options. I recommend scoping out the housing facebook pages and referencing the landlord blacklist for student experiences. As far as safety- I have lived in both true blue and LAE and I personally never had any issues, but I have friends have some scary experiences in LAE (one had her house broken into and another was robbed walking home late at night). My best advice (especially if you aren't able to come down to look at apartments) is to find a student advertising for their landlord and ask what their experience has been, or to ask the landlord if you can speak to the current tenant. And to take the obvious precautions (lock your doors, don't walk alone at night, etc).
Don’t think so but I’d like to join if you made one!
Ok!! I will
