Central Saint Martin student in NEED of housing options

so heres the deal:

im screwed! i totally messed up my housing and now my spot is no longer available!! and NOW I HAVE NO WHERE TO STAY and they wont give me any other options of reapplying and since I'm an international student I have no clue what im doing..

im really freaking out.

does anyone have any advice on what I should do or where to look or anything? ( at least to calm my nerves )

^ you are in San Fransisco right now?

check Craigslist.org ... pick your country/city and you can find a place there
check the city maps, so you know if it will be easy to get to your school from any place you choose. the ads for the rooms/apartments will often have the intersection it is located

does anyone have info on denver, co? i was thinking of moving there after i graduate next year. i'm an art history major and want to do something with art dealing. i have been there a couple times, but only for snowboarding so i'm not too familiar with the city area, does anyone know if it has a fairly good contemporary art scene?

 

[FashionMaganista]

found a place!

so i found a place in London... *thankfully* but I wasnt sure how safe the area is or really whats around it.. Any London-ers willing to help me out?

im staying at:
Pacific Court which is in the E1 area and near the Royal London Hospital.

im not quite sure what borough its in?

PS: anyone else staying at Pacific Court ( its a private hall ) get back at me! Id love to meet you all!

^ Yeah, it's safe, you'll be fine.

fashionmaginista - if you go back a couple pages in this thread you'll see I give advice and links on where to look for flatshares in London. I've never been in Pacific Court I'm assuming it's in/near Whitechapel but E1 is right beside N1 and is on the edge of the sort of East End shoreditch/hoxton area so I think as a CSM student you'd enjoy it and find it well located albeit a bit of a tube journey to get to CSM depending which campus you're at

Hi Guys! This thread is so so very helpful!! So here's the deal, I'm hoping and crossing my fingers that I'll intern in NYC next summer (starting college this fall). When should I contact and apply to places like the Webster, Markle, and Brandon. From what I can tell, they have better rates than the NYU dorms, and just seem more pleasant, plus they provide meals for you (NYU it's an additional cost: $95/wk!!). Would somewhere between Jan-March be too late? I've heard they can be booked as much as a year in advance, but since I won't know about my internship til at least wintertime, I can't just go and apply early without having an internship in place!

I would apply as soon as you know you've goten the internship but no later than Feb.

I'm moving to NY in August, and assumed all the summer interns would be gone by then at all the women's residences. WRONG. When I called late June, the Brandon was booked until the end of the year and I wasn't able to get in contact w/anyone at the markle. As for the webster, they won't accept you w/o an internship. I was able to find residence at Centro Maria Residence, but I was in panic-mode for about a month.

long story short- the sooner, the better.

I remember by about August last year, Webster was already booked up for the whole summer so definitely apply ASAP!

Webster has a down period in December, which was when I got in.

HOw do you like san fran????

Oh wow, guess I won't be getting in, since I won't know about my internship til at least the wintertime. I suppose I could always get on waitlists at the Webster, Brandon, etc. and there's always NYU which isn't ALL that much more expensive.

I also really want to get an internship in NYC next summer. What are some schools that open their dorms for students (that don't attend their school) during the summer? What is Webster? Is that the name of a college?

So you should apply for housing by February? What if you don't even have an internship set up by then? I think I would still just apply for housing and hope for the best..

 

[rinck]

Ninel 28 i would check the bay area craigslist, they always have stuff available and you could post your own as well. it is probably a bit early for most students to know if they will be around in the summer though or where exactly they will be living.

ps. san fran is amazing, i wish i had stayed in the bay for school

 

[omgitschristine]

I was also wondering if it is possible to get housing for 6 weeks during the winter and where. My school has a 6 week long winter break, usually from around November 21st to January 2nd and I would love to intern during that time in NYC.

 

[ShuggaStiletto]

The Webster is an all-women's residence in Manhattan, as are the Brandon and the Markel. If you look through this thread you will find a wealth of information, tips, and links. As for 6 wk. winter housing, your best bet is probably subletting. Try craigslist or subletinthecity.com

NYU and Columbia University both open their dorms to interning students during the summer. I'm not aware of any other schools in NYC that allow non-enrolled students to live in their residence halls.

yes, it's best just to apply early regardless of whether you have the internship. At the least, you'd lose $100 for a registeration fee. These places get filled up very fast because they're cheap (for nyc) and they're right in the city.

As well as the webster, markle, brandon, there's also the Centro Maria , Sacred Heart, El Carmelo, Jeanne D'Arc (the cheapest: $650 a month with meals!) etc. But they all have a curfew (11:30pm on weekdays, midnight on weekends).

I, personally, wouldn't sublet. It costs too much money, and more than likely the internship will be unpaid.

Does anybody else know anywhere on the entire internet where you can find apartments in Nice, France that are not holiday apartments and are not furnished? We can't afford to go through an agent else you basically have to pay three months' rent before you've even walked into the place. We are already paying $5,000 to move there; three months' rent would eat up all our savings and we would have nothing to live on for an entire month! We can't do that!
